 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Tiny plowed parking spot for two small vehicles at the end of Columbus Jordan Rd. in Plainfield. Both the unpaved portion of Colby Hill Rd. and all of Columbus Jordan Rd. were very muddy with some deep ruts in places. I made it ok in my car but high-clearance will have an easier time. |

The various trailheads for this property are easier to spot now that they have maps posted. Thanks! Some online maps show Blue Trail ending at French's Ledges Trail but the route is blazed in blue all the way to the top. |

 | Comments: |
Not much snow left around these parts and the snow that was here was beat up by boots but was still pretty solid. Some patches of bare ground. I wore spikes round-trip and they were definitely helpful on the steep summit cone which was icy. The upper ledges were dry. |
