Comments
Comments: Crawford Notch State Park blazing is more "freestyle" and not consistent with USFS standards.

As others have noted, this is somewhat of an odd trail. Poorly located in spots with a lot of ups and downs that don't seem necessary. Anyway, it was mainly dry with just a few small patches of snow here and there. Nice cascade just upstream from one of the brook crossings.
