Redington 4000' to Redington 3770'

[campsite]

Has anyone actually bushwhacked the Redington Pond Range from the 4000' peak to the 3770' peak?
We are looking for info such as terrain difficulty and vegetation thickness.

Thanks.

I have also heard you need to watch out for guards from the nearby Military reservation, the boundary of which seems to pass very close to 3770'

I have not been there, but maybe someone who has had a "close encounter" would like to respond.

Middle Redington is a great peak, far superior to the main peak. Great views to the south, east and west. I don't think the military reservation is too active anymore, and it is South Redington that is in the reservation property. When I first hiked there in 1990, I was looking at the military complex through by binoculars, and I saw a guard looking at us through his binoculars, I waved but he did not respond. It was an interesting moment for sure. My same hiking partner and I were "escorted" off the reservation when we bushwacked off Potato Nubble and ended up on the main entry road. We were on the road less than two minutes before a jeep appeared and the driver asked us if we were "lost"! No more than usual I informed him!

a few years back when they put up a wind measuring instrument on middle redington, a herd path developed from the 4010 summit over that way. pretty easy to follow in summer. that's one i haven't done in winter because it is usually a 14 - 18 mile day to the main summit depending how far in or not the cvr has been plowed.

CVR plowed now?

go,

what are our chances of the CVR being passable for next weekend?

There was a post recently that CVR is plowed to the fork just beyond the AT crossing.

if that's the case, Redington should be a relatively easy "bag" this weekend...

Actually, Rambler just posted an update that it's only plowed to "well beyond the 3 mile marker", not the AT crossing. But he said it's well packed by snow mobiles and skis beyond that. So its a bit farther to go but easy going.
