Beautiful day forecast on weather.com, they used the term beautiful and we were not let down. 8:30am start and it was chilly to begin and chilly on Crawford around 10:30am but the sun started pushing for center stage at that point. The walk over to Stairs was in the trees but you could see the sunshine. I would suggest this hike to anyone. Great views with a different vantage point. We were able to see all the way to Osceola's, Franconia, Chocorua, Kearsarge North and a peek at Willey. Well worth the 4.4 miles one way for these two. |
