 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
We parked at the junction of Grafton, Orange and Washburn Roads. We had 2 cars, and were able to pull both off to the side.
Walking west down the unmaintained Orange Road, we learned the road was in fact plowed for another 0.15 mi. (camp down there) and we could have parked 1 or 2 cars down here as well. |

 | Comments: |
This was an easy one. We walked west on the unmaintained Orange Road for about 0.6 mi. to a slight HOL, N/NE of the peak. We turned S'ly and bushwhacked directly to the peak. The summit was logged and somewhat open, and we did not find a jar. Lovely snowshoeing with only a few puffy inches on the ground. |
