Parked at a small parking lot right next to the railroad overpass. Used pedestrian walkway under the bridge to cross the Androscoggin River.

 | Comments: |
A nice warm-up hike. Had our lunch and enjoyed the views of the Presidentials from the south ledges and surrounds. Summit was .3 miles from here - an open ledge with limited views. Returned quickly to avoid rain. |
