Hey Andy,
My husband and I are planning a trip to hike Vanderwhacker Mountain this spring/early summer. I’ve enjoyed looking at your maps, and I’m wondering, are the campsites on the Vanderwhacker Road all reachable by car? We have a softshell RTT and would like to use it. If you have other suggestions for that area, I’m open to them.
Thank you so much!
Yes, but the road is very soft, especially west of Vanderwhacker Brook in the spring and you might get stuck if you go in the spring or after rain. East of the Vanderwhacker Brook is usually harder. There might be snow and ice up there though for a few more weeks, and right after the snow and ice melts the road will likely be very soft. I don’t think the road is baracaded in the winter.
