Getting There Suggest change

Winter climbers on Cannon should register at the climber’s register located at the southern end of the pull-out/parking area on the southbound lane of Rt93 about 1/2 mile south of the Tramway parking. ( OK, technically, you are on the “ Franconia Notch Parkway, and not Rt93. ) Be sure to sign out too !

Most will approach via the W-G summer path ( see summer W-G for description).
