The route up Madison is rugged - the Valley Way begins along side the Airline route is taken to the Watson path trail and on up to Madison.

From Madison descend down to the AMC Madison Spring Hut.

You can take the Star Lake Trail up to Adams or take the Gulf Side Trail to the Air Line up to Adams. Both Madison & Adams have signs.

The route to Jefferson has many trails that cross over but stick to the Gulf Side Trail until you get to the Loop Trail which will take you to Jefferson (a mound of granite with a USGS peg at the top).

After Jefferson is Washington (Agiocochook - the Great Spirit in the sky). Head South East back on to the Gulf Side Trail and follow Gulf Side up to Washington. Water is available at the summit if you need to reload. This is a great spot to regroup your team and to refocus. The rest is mostly downhill and where you need to focus psychologically.

Off Washington to the West take the Crawford Path South West to Mt. Monroe Loop just passed the Lakes of the Clouds Hut.

Hop back on to the Crawford Path until you reach the Mt. Eisenhower Loop. Summit Eisenhower & get back on the Crawford Path.
