 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
You can squeeze past the snowbank at the winter lot. The road is dry and good to where the snowmobile trail meets it. I parked here. There were several people who went beyond with high clearance and were ok. A prius however was dragging bottom and turned around. |

What a difference two weeks makes. The southerly exposure of this area has cleared the snow out. On the stair case up fire wardens it is 60% clear and above the top of the staircase it is all 1-3 feet of snow except the summit tops which are clear. Met two kids coming up in trail runners and shorts. Ugh, not yet here. Coming over on route 16 water around Errol is at the road level or slightly above. The next rains will increase that. |
