"Davis Path hike to bag three 52 WAV peaks. The climb up is one long stair case. Brutal on the legs. Descending after the 10 miles trip to Stairs Mountain was just as slow and hard on the legs...I'm feeling old... Fun seeing a Spruce Grouse with some chicks. They were gone before I could get the camera out. " — hiking4000 • Jun 25, 2020

"Headed out for Crawford, Resolution, Stairs and POSSIBLY Parker for 52wav. The clouds were so heavy and snow started falling once on Crawford....and then we hit the ice (with our microspikes in the car).....we kept on and hit the 3 and decided to save Parker for another day. Luckily we had a clearing on Stairs and again as we rounded Crawford on the way back so we did get to see a phenomenal view. " — shay-shay • Oct 27, 2016

"I did this hike with my Golden Retriever on a pretty hot day. It was her first hike and we took it easy. The path was dry and nice to hike. We met a few other human hikers and one dog hiker too. The views were fabulous from the lower ledges and phenomenal from the summit. Clear skies, cool breeze and sunshine. What more could we ask for?" — Hufflepuff • Aug 20, 2015

"Started the morning in clouds on the not very well marked but very well used, as to not cause any confusion, Davis Path. The temp was about 34 degrees. The temperature and the weather improved from that point on. The trail is fairly steep. At one point I joked because it was like torture seeing the entire path in front of you that just goes straight up, no twists, no turns, no switchbacks, just straight up. Poor horses probably didn't like that part either! Started to see snow about half way up. Not enough to break out any extra equipment or anything just made you think about your footing a little more. Once we got to the top the view is exhilarating! All around you are mountains, basically everything New Hampshire has to offer you is on display here! With the Presidentials towering in front. Washington was covered with a large cloud, but we could tell it was on the move. We waited, ate some clif bars (side note- the iced gingerbread is delicious) and soon enough the clouds moved and and revealed Mt. Washington in all its glory. Tuckerman's Raven is building up its snow reserves. Only 6 of us climbed that mountain today and it was worth it. I know it was only 6 becaus..." — sockmonkey145 • Nov 11, 2012
