Mount Willard and Centennial Pool
Of all the hikes in the White Mountain National Forest Region, this is the single best in terms of incredible views for least amount of effort. A modest hike in relative terms, this three mile walk provides a commanding view of the spectacular Crawford Notch. We closed out an outstanding week in style with this one!
Ripley Falls Out and Back
This is a great, short hike leading to the gorgeous, cascading Ripley Falls. While other routes to this are available, this is the most direct path. The falls were impressive, beautiful, and relaxing with only one other hiking group on trail with us.
Silver Cascade
This is one of two cascades on the north end of Crawford Notch. Of the two, this one is a little nicer thanks to a gorgeous view of Mt. Willard above. Again, this was a low flow visit, but after big rains, this little walk is pretty amazing!
Flume Cascade
This is a short out and back moving up a series of cascades just of US-302. It was nice to have the area to ourselves to enjoy the morning - even if the flow was on the low side after a dry spell.
Crawford Notch Overlook
This drive-up overlook provides an easy view of Crawford Notch with Mount Webster on the left and Mount Willard on the right. A far, far better view from the same angle is available by hiking Mount Willard that sits high above this viewpoint.
