Wellinghurst is a short, out-and-back cross-country ski route in Whitaker Woods, a city-managed parcel in New Hampshire. The trail is just 0.14 miles long, with a total climb of 67 feet from a low point of 535 feet to a high of 570 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.08 miles, and the route is rated hard. Winter is the natural season for this ski route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in North Conway show January highs around 30°F with about nine snow days, while April brings highs near 55°F and only two snow days. The station sits a few dozen feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the trail run slightly cooler. Whitaker and Eastern Inns, both cross-country ski areas, lie about 0.1 miles away. Climbers can head to WM: North Conway, roughly 1.7 miles off, and anglers will find the Saco River about 5.4 miles away.
