Moose Falls Tent Platforms Bigelows? Mileage?

[Redwood]

Hi All, My AMC Maine guide is quite old (have to get an updated one soon) and I was curious to know if anyone had or knew of the mileage from the start of the Fire Warden's Trail to the Moose Falls tent platforms? How far off the Bigelow ridge? Thanks much in advance...

I have the Maine Mountain Guide 8th edition. There are no specific distances listed to the campsite. The mileage on the Firewardens Trail is 4.6 to the Bigelow Col. Judging from the map it looks like the Moose Falls site is about 3.6 miles from the trailhead.

The last mile to the col climbs very steeply over what seems like hundreds of rocksteps. Very impressive trailwork. It's obvious the MATC spent hours of hours in this area.

Have fun, Avery Peak is one of my favorites.
