6/11/2023 Mt Washington from LoTC, Clay Loop, Jewell Trail

Stayed at LoTC hut Saturday night after coming up the Ammo trail in much rain (I am an AMC NH leader). The next morning decided to do a sunrise hike of Washington with optional Jefferson depending on how much I wanted to bite off. The Thursday before we went up reports were that 5 inches of snow had fallen. That morning about a half mile from the summit was were the snow was still existing in patches. As I got to the summit it became uniform slush, avoidable though. The take away from this report should just be how wet the trail is / was at this time. Running water was the norm. Ended up going over the clay loop then back down Jewell which was a bit drier.
