Wondering how I could prove that I hiked up Whiteface, and didn't cheat (Whiteface being the only one of the 46 High Peaks you can drive to the top of), I stumbled across this bivouac site, complete with stone and masonry firepit.

It is situated south (uphill) of the Esther Mountain/Whiteface Mountain trail split when you hike from the Reservoir and Flume Trail System trailhead or if you start at the Atmospheric Research Center trailhead (these two trails merge about .9 miles in from the Atmospheric Research Center and 2.2 miles from the Reservoir trailhead).
Number of tent spaces: One

Access to Campsite: On foot

Special Features:
Proximity to Whiteface Mt and Esther Mt summits. Stone and masonry firepit.
