 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked at the locked gate at the western end of Kelsey Notch Road, which is reached from Bungy Road. Note - there is no street sign for KNR. It looks like the driveway for the house on the corner but continues through their side yard. You can tel that you've past it if you cross the ATV trail which is just beyond this junction. |

Water along the road but very little along the CT. We carried enough so that Rueben was taken care of. |

 | Comments: |
We started at the west end of Kelsey Notch Road off of Bungy Road (most other reports indicated they came in from the Eastern end just past the road that leads to the wind farm). This proved slightly longer but it was a beautiful day and we didn't have much else planned. The road walk was very easy and we picked up the CT at the height of land, very easy to see the entrance if you are looking for it. We used the CT all the way to the Baldhead Shelter and had our lunch here. From this point it was a fairly short BW to the recognized summit. |
