Mt. Monroe Loop runs paralel to Crawford Path and passes over the summits of Little Monroe and Mt. Monroe. The views are fine, but parts of Mt. Monroe Loop are rough, and the summits are very exposed to the weather. The trail diverges from Crawford path 6.2 mi. from Mt Clinton Rd and quickly ascends the minor crag called Little Monroe then descends into the shallow, grassy sag beyond.Mt. Monroe Loop climbs steeply over boulder fields to the summit of Mt. Monroe at 0.4 mi., follows the northeast ridge to the end of the shoulder, and then drops sharply to Crawford Path o.1 mi. south of Lakes of the Clouds Hut.
