It might still be wintry like in the Adirondacks, but the loons are out there singing their songs.

One of the Campsites

This is one of the three campsites on Garnet Road. All of them are 30 feet above the road on a ledge. Most or all have vehicular access blocked off, so you have to park in the parking area, for the trail head to Round Pond.
