You can go 2/3's of the way up before you see another person, even in the summer. Best to start with the ones at the far end of the main parking area. The other parking areas may have semi challenging drives to reach them.

(You will definitely need a map (and the watch!), and in the off season an adult hiking buddy. Trail markings are not perfect. i would not go above treeline in the winter)

I think this is the best Monadnock route:

Old Halfway House -> Monte Rosa -> Smith Summit

White Cross -> Smith Connecting -> Cliff Walk -> Parker -> Old Toll Road

Ever done that?

That's what I'm talkin' about! it has been 2-3 years and I often improvise as I go, so i cannot remember exact route, but I have been on each of those trails. Cliff Walk and Monte Rosa are particular favorites. Isn't it amazing how there are hundreds of people on White Dot and White Cross, yet you're completely alone on Parker, etc?
