New Russia Parking Lot Plowed?

[BillC]

Can anyone tell me if the parking lot for the New Russia tralhead for the east trail to Rocky Peak Ridge and Giant is being plowed this winter? Thanks very much.

No, it has not!

No, it has not!

Thank for the reply. Do you know if there are any legal alternatives close by like a pull-out in the road?

Five seconds South of the New Russia trailhead there is Gilligan Road, maybe you can park alongside of that road if it is a day without snowfall and you make sure to "park without causing a hazard". Going peakbagging, I will drive by tomorrow, if I see a change in the status of the parking lot I will let you know tomorrow evening.
