Planning on a trip to MacNaughton the later part of September. Was planning on going in from Upper Works as opposed to the LOJ. Any tips, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That being the case, I agree with myself even more!You might not find this response helpful, and if so I apologize, but --
If you have any fondness for snowshoeing, I can't think of a better peak to wait until late winter for. MacNaughton is covered with shwack and blowdown, but a good supportive Feb-March snowpack does wonders to float you over the worst of it. It makes a really nice winter trip. I went last March, and I can remember thinking in one spot after another, "man, this would be a nightmare in summer." We went up the bumpy south ridge from the end of Henderson Lake, and descended to Preston Ponds. It makes a nice loop with varied scenery, of a reasonable day-trip length (10 miles or so??).
It just doesn't look like much fun wading at ground level through all the junk up there.
Indeed! ALL THE WAY!! If you go one step further you would fall off a cliff!Just remember that the summit is all the way at the West end of the ridge.
