 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Nice big lot. There was still plenty of parking when I got there at 9:30, on a warm Saturday, during peak foliage. Based on that, I'm guessing parking is never a problem at this trailhead. |

 | Comments: |
Not sure if it peaked early this year, or if leaves are just dropping very quickly due to the drought, but the foliage was not as good as it usually is in Crawford Notch in early October. Oh well, still beautiful views on this unseasonably warm day.
The 1.8 mile section between Mt. Crawford Spur and Stairs Col Trail is relatively flat, with little elevation gain. Then it picks up again for the last 1/2 mile to the start of the Stairs Spur. So if you've already made it to Mt Crawford, you've done most of the hard work. The rest of the mileage was much easier. Just thought I'd mention it, for those contemplating doing all three peaks. |
