After completing our adventure to Mizpah Spring Hut, there was still plenty of daylight left. Lynn 'hung out' at Crawford Notch while I went for another hike. Lynn took my picture at Crawford Depot.

It was very steep as I descended on the Willey Range Trail. As far as I know this trail has the longest string of ladders in the Whites. (If anyone knows otherwise please let me know.)
