| Comments: |
Excellent couple of days in Crawford Notch depsite high humidity and limited visibility 06/29. Due to limited time we went up the Crawford Path to Miz Cutoff and spent the night at the Hut. Fare was exceptional as was the entertainment (thanks Ben and all). After breakfast quick stepped it to peak of Pierce then backtracked to Jackson where the view of the two alpine bogs became the highlight of the weekend. Waited a little bit at the summit of Jackson for a possible cloud break/view before decending Jackon-Webster trail. Rough going most of the way down due to ample standing water and erosion. Suspect that the loop would have been more enjoyable doing it in the opposite direction. |
