Parking area near Rattlesnake swamp trailhead. Approach above from Old Mine Road inside the park or below from local roads. Small lot easy to miss. No facilities.
Did 3.5 RT in 1″ snow. (1st choice of trailhead down blue mountain road was closed for season)
Standard AT trail, rocky. Views to east just OK. Stopped at junction of red trail, which was not on current Jan 05 trail map.
