I was one of those that did it from height of land on the Livermore Trail. The woods were open. On the ridge, it seemed the Forest Service might have cut a boundary swath.

That pretty picture in my avatar was taken at the cannister on Mt Kancamagus.

I have climbed Kancamagus twice in winter from a sharp turn on Rt 112 where there is a big space plowed. There is some steep stuff and some thick stuff but I'd say it's more like half a day than 3 days

thanks for the input roy i figured a whole weekend would be overkill but we may try and bag some other peaks while we are in the area.
