About this Location

From North Conway, go through Crawford Notch (NH-302) to Fabayan. You will see an old iron bridge on the right side of the road, and Fabayan’s Restaurant just past it. In between the restaurant and the bridge, is a road. Take this road, which leads to the Cog Railroad Base Station. Stay straight on this road, and about 0.25 miles before the Cog railroad, there is a hiker parking lot on the right. However, you can pay $5 at the Cog to park there, which is nice since it saves 0.5 miles total. Also, the parking at the Cog is more secure than at the hiker parking lot. If you choose to park at the Cog, go to the right of the big building that houses the ticket office, restaurant, museum, etc. As you pass the building, look down to your left, and you will see people boarding the railroad, etc. Keep walking towards the red boarding houses, and to the right. You will see the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail.

In the winter, the west side of the mountain is far less climbed, due to the fact the roads aren’t officially maintained during the winter. However, Charlie (the manager at the Cog) will plow the road a little bit, as he lives at the last house on the left just before the Cog Base Station.
