Route Guidance
Trail Overview
Esther Mountain is the quieter wooded partner to Whiteface, reached from the Wilmington-side route by a rough side path off the Marble Mountain corridor. It is often climbed before Whiteface, but the side trip adds mud, time, and navigation to the day.
Cautions
Esther’s side path is rougher and muddier than the main Whiteface approach. Treat it as a real addition to the day, especially in wet conditions, winter conditions, or fading daylight.
