Join Rachel and Ethan for a two-day backpacking trip in the Presidential Range-Dry River Wilderness! We'll have great views of Crawford Notch and the Presidentials without the crowds usually found on popular trails in the Whites.
On Saturday, we'll ascend Davis Path over Mt. Crawford, Mt. Resolution, and Stairs Mountain (a.k.a. the Giant Stairs.) The total for the day is 6 miles and 2500' elevation gain. We'll practice winter overnight skills at a campsite with a view on top of Stairs. On Sunday, we'll descend over Mt. Parker back to the road.
