Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: Success Pond Road is fine. I have no real frame of reference since I tried the road once last year and turned around due to my old Civic not being up to the task. This year road seems a bit better, certainly in a Subaru.

Comments
Comments: I had been saving this loop for a beautiful day, and it was today. Stunning views from the summit of this very interesting mountain. Trails really fun...until the Mahoosuc between peaks where winter is still stubborn. I listed traction, as I had spikes with me and didn't use them, but it would depend on each individual's comfort as to whether to don them or not. Because I did the loop clockwise, my ascents were in the north-exposure icy/snowy sections, which in my mind, is easier than descending them. This is a mostly moot point since I can't imagine much will be left after the next few days.
