Mount Crawford

Trail: Davis Path

Conditions: Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular

“Lots of fresh, loose snow on the trail, so snowshoes were necessary all day. Only saw 6 other people and everyone was in snowshoes. Perfect, bluebird day. Presidentials were looking beautiful! Steadily steep hike, but the summit views are worth it.”

Trail: Davis Path, Crawford Spur

Conditions: Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Unpacked Powder, Snow - Drifts

“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.”
