04Jul20 - Mt Crawford, Stairs Mountain, Mt. Resolution

Due to the Pandemic, I got only one hike done in 2020. I'm glad it was with my good friend Ms. Wild!

History: The Davis Path is named for Nathanial Davis, and runs all the way to Mt Washington. Mt Crawford is named after The Crawfords, owners of the Crawford House Inn in Hart's Location. Mt Resolution and Mt Stairs don't have much out there on their name origins.

Peak Elevation: 3119 ft (Crawford), 3415 ft (Resolution), 3463 ft (Stairs)
Elevation Gain: 2600ft or so
Trail: Davis Path, various spur trails.
Length: 9.4mi
Time on Trail :
Time off Trail:

Hiking on the 4th of July, what could go wrong? Nothing really but it was pretty damn hot out. Mt Crawford was very nice on its own, worthy of a short dayhike really. But since I'm bagging things still I went on to go for Resolution, which i found to be kind of "meh", and Stairs (which was nice but i was too tired to appreciate it). The elevation gain and terrain makes this comparable to a NH48 summit when you go all the way to Stairs.

Keeping Crawford as a short day hike for future use.
