Mount Washington Climbs and Ski Runs

First a disclaimer: The info is the best I know but all data should be considered suspect until you have field verification.

Here is a Geopdf map, with GPX, KML, and a GeoJSON data files along with a KMZ file that will put the map onto Google Earth to download of the runs and gully climbs on Mount Washington. It includes Huntington and Tuckerman Ravine, Gulf of Slides, Oakes Gulf, Monroe Brook and Ammonoosuc Ravine. I have left out the runs and climb of the Great Gulf because I am not familiar with the names of the gullies there. Once I get that sorted out I will include those in the future.

The Geopdf can be imported into the Avenza app on your phone to provide you with a GPS enable map. The GPX and the  KML data can be used in a wide variety of programs with the KML importing only the lines and markers into Google Earth. The GeoJSON file is for those that use CalTopo so that the lines and markers better import into that program.

Before skiing, riding, climbing or recreating in avalanche terrain you should get the weather and avalanche forecast at a minimum.

Here is the URL for the Geopdf

Here are the data files:

GPX (Some browsers add a .xml extension, delete the .xml leaving only the .gpx extension before saving)
KML (Once downloaded click on the file and it will overlay the lines onto Google Earth)
GeoJSON (Some browsers add a .txt extension, delete the .txt leaving only the .json extension before saving)
KMZ (Once downloaded click on the file and it will overlay the map onto Google Earth)
