Driving directions to the location and spot to meet at:

You will need to make a reservation to park a car.  The rates increased to $15 a few years ago, but this covers everyone in a vehicle.  I recommend finding others who are signed up to go and carpool.  The address for the Monadnock State Park Visitor Center is 169 Poole Rd, Jaffrey, NH 03452.
