"Couldn't have asked for a better first hiking trip into the Whites. Everything was perfect from the mountains to the weather and especially the company. I will be returning and I will be returning often." — Right-On • Aug 1, 2020

"2 semaines solo de pure plaisir à faire du hiking à différentes places dont les Whites Moutains. Pour cette série je voulais faire Avalon, Willey, Field et ensuite arriver sur Tom pour le coucher du soleil. La journée était parfait pour cela. Aucun nuage, ni rien! Et finalement, à mon arriver sur Tom, des gros nuages se sont mis de la partie. Donc je suis repartis sans avoir de photo de coucher de soleil.... Mais j'ai mes 4 sommets! :)" — fsoucy76 • Sep 27, 2018

"Solo. 8/48. See Willey log for the beginning of the climb report. After I hit the summit of Willey I quickly picked my way over to Field. The trail was narrow with lots of things brushing me on the sides of the trail, kind of claustrophobic. Footing was tricky and rocky, along with lots of exposed roots, and still soaking wet. When I was about to hit the summit of this, Field, I heard voices. And more voices. And more voices. WTF? As soon as I got to the cairn about 30 folks were turning up, almost all of whom were loudly speaking French. Not wanting to join the weird group for any length of time as it was now crowded as hell, I quickly moved on (after noting there was again no damned view at the viewpoint). Mileage & gain on this log are just for Willey > Field. Full trip mileage will be found in the text of my Tom log. See continuation. " — kellieirene • Aug 27, 2018

"AH - MAZING day in the whites! No clouds...just sun and no wind either! Throw in feeding the gray jays and we were happy as pigs in slop. Got Tom, Field and Willey on the books for April." — shay-shay • Apr 23, 2018

"Nice winter day, near 30 at base of mountains. Hiked up the Avalon Trail to Avalon, then up to Mt. Field and over to Tom. Lots of packed snow on trail, mirco spikes up to Avalon and Mt. Field. From Field to Mt. Tom put on snowshoes." — blackwolf_03278 • Feb 19, 2018

"Columbus Day weekend. We chose the best day weather wise but still ran into light rain and drizzle for a good portion of the hike. We ascended via the Avalon trail to the A-Z trail to the Mt Tom Spur. Then we hiked across to Mt Field. The descent down the Avalon trail was very steep tricky and wet as rain continued. A truly beautiful hike despite the limited views and diminished visibility. We skipped the Mt Avalon spur due to time." — Amero4k • Oct 7, 2017

"After a failed attempt trying to cross the Little River to climb the Twins we made our way over to Crawford Notch and set our sights on Willey, Field and Tom. The trail to Willey starts off as part of the AT for the initial 1.6 miles as we climb over some nice rock stairs and log stairs to reach 2600'. At ~ 1.6 miles in the AT splits off and heads towards Zealand Falls and the Willey Range trail starts up - REALLY up as we will climb only 400' over the next 0.6 miles and then 1300' in the last 0.5 miles before the summit - heavily eroded and a little slick in the rain at the top but a very fun trail. Although Willey is treed in there is a view toward the Presidential's just below the summit. From Willey we drop through 2 cols (-320 / +450) over the next 1.4 miles to Field - really enjoyed the woods along this portion. The hike over to Field is fun, fast and mild - also treed in at the summit but there is a viewpoint nearby. From Field to Tom we will -650 / +360 over the next 1.5 miles - some fun little blocky climbs and another nice trail. On this portion the Gray Jays came by and asked for lunch - we obliged :) Again, the summit is treed in but if you continue past the ca..." — deb-and-rob • Jun 9, 2017

"Winter conditions for sure! We parked a car at the Willey end of the range and left another at the AMC parking area. The hike up Willey required snowshoes and the ladder section was sketchy. We had to circumvent the actual trail, opting for the deep snow through the trees instead of the icy path worn over the ladders. " — ne4kclimber • Apr 2, 2017

"A very wet day hiking up to hit tom, field and avalon....the snow was steaming and created quite a fog! We hit Avalon first, and didn't get any views due to the heavy clouds and then went to Field. As I hit the summit and went to the side I saw the most incredible view! The presidential all open with an undercast below...by the second the clouds were rolling in...it was amazing! We then enjoyed lunch with the gray jays!! After the most incredible lunch break we finished up the loop on foggy Tom and headed back to Crawfords. An amazing day in the clouds!" — shay-shay • Jan 22, 2017

"Picture perfect day in the Whites! Took the Avalon trail (don't skip Avalon - it's a fantastic summit) to the Willey Range Trail to the A-Z Trail (and Mt. Tom Spur Trail). This was a great way to hike these 4 peaks (instead of just an out & back)." — PJSelmer • Jul 24, 2016
