Lucy is a 0.3-mile out-and-back cross-country ski route in Whitaker Woods, a city-managed parcel in New Hampshire's City Land. The trail's high point rises to about 630 feet, with the start at roughly 612 feet, and it carries a total elevation gain and loss of about 50 feet each way. That makes it a short, low-elevation outing, but it's rated hard, so plan for the climb to be steeper early on. The route is part of a small cluster of ski destinations. Quarry and Wellinghurst, both cross-country skiing areas, sit about 0.1 mile away. Winter is the season to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in North Conway show January highs around 30°F with about nine snow days, while March brings the last of the snow at seven days and highs near 42°F. Climbers can find WM: North Conway and Lower Left Wall / Ventilator Slabs about 1.8 miles off. The Saco River offers river fishing about 5.3 miles away.
