parking lot for hiking Mount Dartmouth in New Hampshire

Chuck H. and Fred did a bushwhack to Millen Hill (3355-ft) and Mount Dartmouth (3727-ft; White Mountains, NH) in August 2006. We go in from the Caps Ridge Trail parking lot and whack 4 miles roundtrip in 7 hours through consistently poor terrain. On the way down we slab along the north shoulder of the ridge which is marginally better. I snap a photo at hike start while Chuck suits up. You can tell we picked a popular hike on a popular day by the crowd in the parking lot.
