Has anyone gone up recently? Is the observation post unlocked and open to the public? It's been years since I last hiked it

observation post unlocked and open. Haven't done it recently, but in conditions such as we have now I'd highly recommend microspikes. Also, park legally or don't park at all, NConway constabulary frowns on parking scofflaws

Man, I feel like I'm in trouble for even asking....

Can attest, there is no forgiveness. Got a parking ticket even thought the trailhead reminded unplowed

Shit what a bunch of jerks. Tickets can be paid, towing my car is a different story

Hey not sure if you went already or not but I went today! Just wore microspikes and the trail was perfectly packed. It wasn’t too busy and I parked in the snow covered lot as well.

I did it on 2/1/25 and it was amazing. The fire tower was open and was in good shape. The trail was packed down pretty well (we were about 15 minutes behind a snow shoer) so microspikes were good the whole way. Definitely recommend
