One major blowdown about 3/4 of the way between the Crawford Spur and the Resolution/Stairs junction that I had to route around. A couple of other pass under blowdowns along that section. The South Knob Trail is growing in a little bit, but easily passable. Other than that, the trails are very well maintained. |

| Comments: |
The initial 2 miles up to Crawford are a butt kicker. After that, it is all relatively easy to get to the wonderful views throughout. Crawford had the best views, followed by Resolution, Stairs, then Parker. But all four major summits had their character. A few small springs around the Stairs/Resolution junction area. Other than that, plan to bring all the water you need for this hike. Some minor muddy sections right after the Crawford Spur, but all passable. |
