Franconia Ridge as seen from Mount Kineo East in New Hampshire

The best bushwhack route is up the double-blue-blazed trail (starts about 20 feet after the dam) to Rain Gauges 15 and 17. The summit is about 100 feet beyond RG17. When you see the hanging hiking pole, look up to find the canister. There is this neat view of Franconia Ridge from the clearing at RG15.
