Mount Willard


Though dwarfed by many of the nearby higher summits of the White Mountains, Mt. Willard is a must for hikers to visit. It's classic view of Crawford Notch is legendary and the view is often featured in many magazines and travel guides. This mountain is another mountain that offers a huge amount of bang for the buck. The trail is easy to pick up from the parking area and is very winter accessible. It is crowded at all times of the year which includes winter. One can get away with not using snowshoes in winter due to the heavy use of this trail. Micro-spikes are though highly recommended. The 1.6 mile one way Class 1 Mt. Willard trail steadily takes to the summit where the legendary 180 degree views of Crawford Notch welcome you. This is well worth the two hour drive and two hour hike.
