Zealand Falls – Ethan Pond Trail – Ethan Pond Shelter to Crawford Notch – Appalachian Trail NH

Alpha-Gal and M2 planned this as a 4 day hike from Franconia Notch to Crawford Notch using the Hut system for overnights. Day 4 is from Zealand Falls and Hut, past Ethan Pond Shelter, and ends at the parking at Crawford notch. This was a much easier hike than previous days and we made better than expected time to the parking lot. We made a peaceful lunch stop at Ethan Pond Shelter and checked out Ethan Pond. There was some nice trail magic at the Crawford notch parking that “Peach”, “Barrel”, and a couple others had set up. This roving magic is known as “@ThePeachVortex” and some photos can be found over on Instagram.

Over the past couple years I’ve been using a trail guide put out by “Attroll” over at Whiteblaze.com called “WhiteBlaze Pages”. It’s a very informative and detailed guidebook that has community support. I like it a lot. It’s very affordable and can be found over at: https://www.whiteblazepages.com/store/

Thank you “Attroll” for providing us a ride back to our vehicle at the end of this hike. That was very unexpected and definitely appreciated!
