Hiking Day Three.  Route 302 to Applebrook B&B on Route 115A in Jefferson Route 302, Cherry Mountain Road, Cherry Mountain Trail, Owls Head Trail, Route 115, Slide Brook Trail, Presidential Range Trail, Ice Ramparts Trail, Colonel Whipple Trail, Whipple Road, and Route 115A 19.1 miles with around 2400 feet of elevation gain We left the next morning right after we quickly ate a bit of food from the Lodge's free breakfast area (standard motel-style bread/waffle iron/yogurt breakfast fare) and walked down the road a few tenths of a mile to the store close to the road which houses the Cog Railway.  We bought our food for the day and continued down Route 302 to Cherry Mountain Road, Alex leading the way. We turned right on Cherry Mountain Road and walked the few miles up the hill to the trailhead with Cherry Mountain Trail. A few notes about the campsites on Cherry Mountain Road -- first, they looked like they had all been full the night before.  Also, they are free
