| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Room at Ferncroft, a couple silly humans parked just off road into Ferncroft parking area to save themselves a few extra yards of walking--no respect for private home owners--they request to hikers to stay out of field. Lots of room at parking area off Whiteface Intervale road (notice there is no road sign for Intervale Road off of 113A). |

| Comments: |
Nice day on the trails. The difficulty of the McCrillis Trail is over-rated, there is much less ledge scrambling than the Blueberry Ledge Trail. I am surprised that this route is not more popular, we enjoyed it very much. |
