Two hikers were rescued from Mount Flume on March 19, after icy trail conditions prompted a call for help. They were stuck near the top of the Flume Slide in Lincoln, and told authorities they could not safely descend from their location. Mount Flume, elevation 4,328 feet, is located east of Interstate 93 and southwest of Franconia Notch State Park. Mike Carmon from the Mount Washington Observatory warns of “tricky water crossings” in the backcountry in his latest recreational forecast. The week’s varying wet and warm weather patterns prompted the rescheduling of the Tuckerman Inferno race on Mount Washington.
