 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
We followed Rowes Mountain Rd in Bradford to it maintained end. As we turned around to park the owner of this last house on the left came out to chat with us. He was concerned with incoming snowstorm and our parking spot. The plow truck would need to turn in that location, so he allowed us to park in his driveway. |

He was concerned with incoming snowstorm and our parking spot. The plow truck would need to turn in that location, so he allowed us to park in his driveway.
After telling him what our plans were, he allowed us to cross his retreat home property on the right. We started bushwhacking in really nice woods, at moderate grade and in very nice snowshoeing conditions. Just prior to the summit things got really steep, the woods thickened and then we hit the recognized high point.
Big thank you to Doug @ Rowes Mountain Retreat (would be a great place to stay and hit this mountain)
