 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked on the side of Wiggle Brook Road, sort of magnetic north of the peak. As noted in the Kennebago Divide/Whitecap report, two culverts washed out on south to north road on western side of Little Kennebago Lake (SUV bottomed out, pick up okay) - found the road on the other side to be a better alternative. Culverts look to be replaced soon. |

 | Comments: |
Bushwhacked from near a height of land on Wiggle Brook Road, sort of magnetic south to Snow Mountain canister. Generally open woods, though some steep stuff in the middle. Dropped into the drainage to the west for the descent and found it to be fairly open with a more reasonable pitch. Ended up finding some old logging roads and moose paths which led us back to our vehicles (literally!) without GPS. Preferred this to the popular approach on the other side. |
