 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked in the Macomber parking lot that asks for a $10 donation however we did not pay it. It was empty at 9:30am. The small roadside lot near the Crawford Depot had very few spots remaining. By 1:30 Macomber parking lot still had spaces and there were still many cars were parked along the side of the road. Restrooms at Depot were open as of 8:00 AM. |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
he two main crossings were very easy in current dry conditions. Probably not so easy under other conditions. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
We removed one step over by removing the small downed tree. There is another stepover after the 2nd crossing of Crawford Brook that could easily be removed with a small saw. Otherwise, the trail is easy to follow and in great condition. Many nice stone steps. Good signage (with mileages!). |

here is a steep, rough rocky stretch and a couple scrambles that might be difficult for some dogs. |

 | Comments: |
This is a great hike, with a wonderful view at the Avalon summit. It's fairly short, but with a few steep sections and a little scrambling, so you get to earn the view. Great views of Mt. Washington, other Presidentials, and peaks on both sides of Crawford Notch.
A few hints of fall foliage colors popping up. Beautiful late summer day with temperatures in the 70s. |
