| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
It's a very nice lot located right at the Franconia/Easton town line on route 116. I was the first vehicle in the lot at 6:40am. When I arrived back at the lot at 2:00 there were 8 other cars. |

|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
I was able to rock-hop the three or so stream crossings. Avoiding the running water in the trail further up was not as easy. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
On the way up, past the spur to Bald Peak, after awhile you take a sharp right turn. After that there was significant water running down the trail. The location was maybe about halfway between the spur to bald peak and the K. ridge trail. |

| Comments: |
A very well - blazed trail. The guidebooks, though, seem a bit out of date - written descriptions seem a bit different than the route that is blazed. |
