Liz Dolinar: Crawford Notch Culture

Crawford Notch is part of the White Mountain Range on the Appalachian Trail. Hikers here range from families and casual day-hikers to avid hikers who have made their way up the AT. Knowing about the diverse group of outdoorsmen (and women) who utilize the Crawford Path can contribute to the design proposal for the bath house. Understanding the particular needs of hikers, both seasoned and amateur, can inform decisions such as organization of the facility and how hikers approach/use the bath house. Also, understanding the raw beauty and power of the landscape can impact the aesthetic approach to this project.
