Crawford Path to Pierce is a great hike. It can be quick but today, it's taken me a lot longer. The trail itself is a sidewalk and will hopefully refreeze tonight. Care on upper Crawford to stay on trail.. If you don't, you will sink in up to your knee or worse. Spruce traps are an issue as well. Care needs to be taken when passing. All in all, this was a good day for me.... Number #2 in my (re) Hike of the 48 for Rheumatoid Arthritis. |
