      You can get to the Jewell, USFS Hiker Lot (NOT the Cog hiker lot, the Jewell Spur Trail is closed due to a missing bridge) via 302 from Twin Mountain (the west) and Base Station Road.

        As of Wednesday, the Kanc is only open to the Discovery Trailhead from Lincoln. I drove it myself today.

        I was not given a timeframe but by the amount of dumptrucks I passed, it might be awhile before things open up.

        If you guys want to move to Mt. Clay, the option is there.

          To get to the Cog you must come from the west on Route 302. Note also that Jefferson Notch Road is *not* open as a shortcut from the north.

              To clarify, the hiker lot at the end of Base Station Road, next to the Cog Railway, is owned by the Cog, and a $5 fee is assessed. The Jewell Spur from the Cog Railway is closed due to the damaged footbridge.

              The USFS hiker lot ($3 WMNF fee) is located half a mile *before* the Cog Railway, on the right side of the road (sign reads Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail parking). The Jewell Trail from the USFS hiker lot is open and that bridge is intact.
