| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Winter trailhead is right across Starr King Road off US2, it is plowed and there is an easily spotted sign saying "Trail Parking". Saw two vehicles parked at entrance to the summer parking area, one of which was definitely parked where it shouldn't have been. Just use the winter lot, it's an easy five minute walk! |

Trails packed and firm. Until the next storm, boots - light traction - snowshoes can be used, whatever you prefer. Great morning to be out, Waumbek is always a beautiful winter hike :) |
