Three 4,000 footers in one hike! Hike the Tom, Field, Willey loop and enjoy the amazing views of early November in Crawford Notch!

We will start from the Highland Center and take the A-Z trail to the junction with the Willey Range Trail. The Mt. Tom spur is a .6 mile out & back from the junction, and then we will continue on the Willey Range trail to Mts. Field and Willey. After Willey we retrace back to Field and take the Avalon trail down to Mt. Avalon. We will also take the short side trip up Mt. Avalon. After Avalon, we follow to A-Z trail back to the Highland Center. For those keeping track, this will give you three 4000 footers plus a “52 With A View!”

Good views from the summit of Mt. Tom. At Mt. Field, there an outlook and a good chance of encountering gray jays here. At Mts. Willey and Avalon, there are excellent views of the Presidentials, Crawford Notch and mountains to the South. 

We will hike 10 miles, with an elevation gain of 3,600 feet and it should take about 7 hours to complete. This hike is rated strenuous, remember that this is relative and time will vary depending on your own abilities.
