Route Climbed: Fire Warden's Trail to the AT Date Climbed: 8/21/05
It started out as a rainy, dreary day, but we were determined to bag West and Avery in our 4K list. The peaks were really fogged/cloudy, but it was so amazing. Not much of a view because of the weather, but very surreal. Definately my favorite peaks thus far. I'm definately going to go back on a better day once I've bagged the 67.
Route Climbed: Up the AT down Firewardens Date Climbed: 8/24/98
I arrived late and made a dash over the Bigelow West and Avery Peak. Saw a group of moose on the way down in near dark. A must see again kind of place. Magic.

Route Climbed: Fire Wardens Trail to the AT to Horns Pond Trail Date Climbed: July 30, 2005
Went up the fire Wardens trail up to the col between Avery and West Peaks. Took the AT over three of the higher summits - Avery Peak, West Peak, and South Horn. Continued on the AT to the shore of Horns Pond where I took the Horns Pond trail back to the Fire Wardens trail. Gotta be one of the nicer loops in the northeast.
Edited to add: Very cool hike in the winter. Got both Avery and West Peak in January 2007.
