INTRODUCTION:
Mt.
Willard is located in Crawford Notch, NH.
Since the mid-1800s, it has been a very popular hiking destination. It’s a relatively easy 1.6 mile hike up the
Mt. Willard Trail which allows even novice hikers to enjoy the magnificent
vista from the huge south-facing cliff near the top of the mountain.
Over the
years, I have done the hike briefly described above. In addition, I have visited a variety of
places on Mt. Willard that can only be reached by bushwhacking. Highlights from some of those bushwhack
adventures are presented below in the “PHOTOS” section of this blog posting.
But
before scrolling down to the “PHOTOS” section, you might be interested in the
following two snapshots. One was taken
from the huge cliff at the end of the Mt. Willard Trail, and the other was
taken looking at Mt. Willard’s huge cliff from a location along U.S. 302.
And
shown below is a map which might be useful in locating the places described in
the photos taken during my off-trail adventures on Mt. Willard.

There
are still other bushwhack adventures on Mt. Willard that I hope to undertake in
the future

All the views from the various locations you hiked or bushwhacked to are wonderful. The "V" shaped view looking southward down Crawford Notch is a favorite of mine. You framed that photo perfectly!
In addition I like the photo taken from along U.S. 302—just love to see those fall colors surrounding a New England lake!
Thanks, John, for continuing to provide photos from your former forays throughout scenic New Hampshire. It's something to look forward to during this pandemic.
Rita . . . you deserve a reward for being such a faithful follower of my blog. Thank you!
Keep safe!
John
Thank you! I might say the same of you John, that you deserve a reward for faithfully following my blog!
I haven't posted for awhile but Tim and I will be camping in Wyoming next week. Maybe I'll have something to blog about after visiting the wilds of Wyoming!
