Camel's Hump - Burrows trailhead?

[Peakbagr]

Hoping to climb Camel's Hump and Bald Hill. Does anyone know if they keep the road open to the trailhead and the condition of the road during snowy conditions?

Thanks

Yes, it's open all winter as it's a big winter hiking and skiing route. I've always gone up with my AWD Subaru, the but there are all sorts of cars in the parking lot.

Thanks, Dave. Been 20+ years since I've been on Camel's Hump and looking forward to getting back. Want to get up Bald while I'm there.

Alan -

As Dave said, the TH from the Huntington side is open year-round, and that one's closer if you're coming from NY. The one from the east, the Couching Lion/Monroe trail side, is also open, but the parking lot is on the left at the base of the hill during the winter. It means about another .5 miles, and 500' or so, but is a popular hiking/backcountry skiing TH so is kept open.

There's usually a skin track over to Bald so try not to stomp it flat.

Tag along?

Hey Peakbgr,

When are you thinking of doing this? I'd be interested in tagging along if you want company.
