Well, some chill (Sunday is going to be a cold day after all!), but how would you like to get those great views of the Presis without spending all day exposed in the cold? Crawford's your chance! It's a 5 mile round trip with a 2100 ft ascent, and just enough of an open summit to get you a taste of what above tree line would be like!

Here's Phil Werner on Crawford: "Mount Crawford has some of the finest views in the White Mountains, easily rivaling the views from Mt Hight, Mt Bond, or Mt Carrigan in the number of other 4,000 footers that are viewable. With 360 degree views from its open summit, you can see Mts Washington, Monroe, Eisenhower, Pierce, Willey, Webster, Carrigan, the Tripyramids, Passaconaway, the Bonds, the Twins, and even distant Franconia Ridge."

We will be leaving from the Davis Path Trailhead, and hiking out and back on the Davis Path (http://www.summitpost.org/mount-crawford/155262). The trail is only moderately trafficked, and can get windy at the top, so we will need snowshoes and crampons.
