Looking up the Kedron Flume Trail Route: Kedron Flume Trail, Ethan Pond Trail, Willey Range Trail, (Mt. Willey), Willey Range Trail, (Mt. Field), Willey Range Trail, A-Z Trail, Mt. Tom Spur Trail, (Mt. Tom), Mt. Tom Spur Trail, A-Z Trail, Avalon Trail With a nice, but windy fall day forecasted, we headed over to the Crawford Notch area. After spotting a vehicle, we started up the Kedron Flume Trail. While the flume had some flowing water, the scenic qualities of it weren't as good as I would have hoped, due to lots of blowdowns in and around the streambed. The climb up the Willey Range Trail was steep as we worked our way up the many stairs and steep rocky areas. Nearing the summit, we stopped at the vista for some excellent views of a white Mt. Washington. After reaching the summit, we continued to Mt. Field, where the wind started to pick up a bit. Though the range of views was limited, the near-summit viewpoint provided a nice look at the Presidentials again. Continuing on, we eventually reached Mt. Tom, where we had excellent views from both the summit and northern blowdown viewpoints. Heading down the A-Z and Avalon trails, we eventually re-entered the fall foliage.
