Overview: This is a great loop trail that will take you up Mt. Webster and along the mountain's cliffs on the way up, then head over the partially bare summit of Mt. Jackson (4,052'), past the AMC Mitzpah Hut and then to the top of semi-wooded Mt. Pierce (4,312'). You'll return via the southern end of the Crawford Path back down to Crawford Notch.

Tips: Crawford Notch Trailhead
In Crawford Notch there are a couple parking lots you can park in at $3 for the day on Route 302. From the parking lot walk down the road south past Saco lake and look for the Webster Cliff Cliff trail heading north into the woods. On the way out the Crawford Trail at the end you'll pop right out across the road from the parking lot.
