Best Hiking Window
Sunday offers the best available window within the next 48 hours, with a high of 23°F and clear skies — far preferable to Monday's dangerously cold high of only 8°F. An early morning start on Sunday is recommended to maximize daylight and allow a comfortable descent before temperatures drop again in the evening. Monday should be avoided due to extreme cold; Tuesday's forecast precipitation introduces icing risk.

“Hit Mount Crawford bright and early. It appeared to have got a mix of boots and snowshoes yesterday. My plan was to capitalize on the cold temperatures of the morning. Majority of the trail was in good shape. Depending on your preference you may prefer snowshoes, but you can use light traction. Toward the top you'll face some drifts, but nothing major. I'm assuming it got some action after my visit and I'm confident it will be in great shape come tomorrow and until the next storm.”

“The beginning of the trail was packed down, but people turned around not far into the trail. Two of us broke out the rest of the trail to Crawford. We attempted to head to Stairs and Resolution, but only made it 0.3 miles from the Crawford Junction. At 0.3 miles from the junction snow was consistently waist deep, so we decided to call it quits for the day. Definitely need snowshoes for this one. There's a lot of snow up there.”
