| Comments: |
The trails next to the lot aren't well signed and some don't show up on the park map. Follow the main trail across the bridged stream and then take the first left on a trail with a sign pointing towards the parking and a bridge sign on it. The Gould trail is rather wet/muddy in areas and a bit snowy towards the top which should melt soon. The short stretch of the AT to the top is packed snow which microspikes are useful for but not necessary. |
