 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
we parked at the plowed end of chateauguay in barnard where the road becomes seasonal snowmobile corridor. shortest route in from rt 12 is via west hill road to morgan corners to Chateauguay road. roads are currently very muddy and rutted. we made it ok with mid clearance awd. lower clearance will want to avoid the dirt roads in this general area until they dry out. |

 | Comments: |
Chateauguay road had snowmobile packed snow up to the a.t. crossing. we followed the trail south then left it and headed up the north ridge of Chateauguay. snow was generally firm with a wet sticky layer on top. still significant snow depth at elevation. woods were generally open with some whippy young hardwoods up to the recognized highpoint. we followed our tracks back down to the road then walked the road south for a few minutes before heading up towards bull hill. we used an old skid roads much of the way then enjoyed nice open woods to the recognized highpoint. from the summit we headed back down towards the saddle with ne bull then contined north towards delectable mountain bypassing the highpoint of ne bull. some thin/bare spots on the steepish ascent to delectable recognized highpoint. leaving the summit we went east back to Chateauguay road finding mostly open hard woods all the way with generally good snow coverage. the snow was softening quite a bit with the warming temps. from there we followed the road back to the car. |
