White Mountain Presidential Traverse Beta...

SPers,
Gathering data for a dayhike attempt at the Presidentials this summer. Right now I'm just browsing over trail descriptions and had a couple of questions about the beginning and end of the hike. I'm looking at taking the Airline Trail from Hwy 2 and exiting at Crawford Notch on Hwy 302 via the Webster Cliff Trail. In regards to both of these, does anyone have any experience hiking them in the dark? Easy or difficult to follow? Judging by the maps I've gathered, the Airline Trail looks to be in a veritable maze of other trails that lead up to Mt. Madison. My main concern with the Webster Cliff Trail is it looks pretty steep and it will be at the end of a long day, possibly in the dark.
Just trying to get a guage of what I'll be up against.
Anyone with experience on these sections would be a great help!
Thanks,
Gusto
