 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I'd heard parking at Lowe's Store isn't an option anymore, so I parked at Castle Trailhead/Presidential Rail Trail parking and hiked down the rail trail (groomed for snowmobiles) for about .75 mile. It was annoying but I parked there overnight with no problem. |

Stayed at Gray Knob Cabin on Tuesday night, so actually hiked March 21-22. Everything below tree line is sort of deep and loose snow, slow going and difficult to move through, especially between the Log Cabin and Gray Knob where it's fairly steep - I kept slipping backwards, with and without snowshoes. Above tree line was just perfect - hard packed, a little icy. I kept snowshoes on for pretty much the whole hike, but I saw people above tree line with spikes on and that would've been fine too. |
