 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Wolfeboro Road goes up and over the ridge and crosses the AT. I parked at a red gate at the west end of the road. The road leaves 3 mile road north of the AT and is shown going over the ridge on the National Geographic Trails map. It is gated and signed as a class 6. I was able to get over without blocking. |

 | Comments: |
The road was packed by snowshoes and skis, though the majority turned part way up to catch the Harris Trail. I stuck with the road, following lighter traffic and sinking a bit in the softening snow. When I hit the AT, tracks headed south, but not north. I broke trail in spring snow and big wind-drifts (often supportive) to the North peak. At times I was sinking a foot or so, while at other times the snow held better. I returned in my tracks and followed previous tracks to the south peak. The south peak has seen a fair amount of traffic via other routes. This proved to be a good option to make a T-route to these two peaks. |
