OSM Way
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.

Accessmark
We used this trail to connect from the Zealand hut to the Highland Center. For me, this trail is expert level, bordering on dangerous, especially when it is raining. It has huge elevation changes with a lot of scrambling/bouldering. It's very primitive and not as well maintained as other trails in the area. If you are looking for a challenge, have at it, but if you are hoping for a nice, pleasant walk in the woods, this is not it.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
