This trail runs to Zealand Trail from Avalon Trail, 1.3mi. from AMC's Macomber Family Information Centre (Crawford Depot), crossing the Willey Range at the Field-Tom col, and thus provides a route between Zealand Falls Hut and US 302 at the high point of Crawford Notch, and access to the north end of the Willey Range from either starting point.

The footing is often wet on some sections of the trail west of the Willey Range.
