That’s Tomorrow
Mount Willard (2,800 ft.) Crawford Notch, NH. 3.2 mi RT, 900-foot elevation gain. RT hiking 2.3. hours. RT driving 3.0 hours.
Trailhead and parking area are located at the Crawford Depot on Rt. 302, in Carroll, NH (summit is in Bethlehem). The Crawford Depot is 8.5 miles south of Rt. 3 and just south of the AMC Highland Center. Click here for a Google map. Thos od us driving from Denmark will take U 302 north from North Conway through Glen and Bartlett through Crawford Notch. At the height of the land in the Notch look for the old Crawford Depot on the left (west) and parking. Saco lake is across the road on the right.
The forecast looks acceptable for tomorrow up at Crawford Notch so we will attempt to hike Mt. Willard. The forecasts now suggest that any possible rain showers will hold off until afternoon, 2:00 PM or so, with temperatures in the upper 30s, so we’ll unlikely miss out on the freezing rain.
Meet at the Denmark Church at 8:30 AM to carpool. For those heading directly to the trailhead, gather at the Crawford Depot in Crawford Notch around 10:00 AM.
– There is still a possibility of rain, so carry rain gear as well as full winter gear. We’ll make a guess at the lot as to whether snowshoes or micro-spikes are more appropriate foot traction so probably bring both at least to the trailhead.
