“Trail was a great snowshoe today, though the snow was getting sticky as the day warmed. Today's trail was 3-4 inches of fresh snow over fairly hard packed Trail. There is ice under the snow in some areas, but didn't have any trouble with the traction on my snowshoes. You might be fine with microspikes for this hike, but I felt snowshoes were nice to have today.”

“Wonderful day tracing and snagging a 52WAV. Trail was broken out, I barebooted for about a mile then put the spikes on until I got back to the car. Definitely rocky in some places and at the summit so I feel snowshoes would mostly take a beating but the televators would have been nice! Only two others out today. Round trip was 7.4 miles / 2600' gain. This bring me to 34.4% traced. Can't beat those views up the Montalban Ridge to the Presidentials!”

“First maintenance trip of Mt Parker Trail. Lots of brushing between Parker and Resolution. I removed 12 near blowdowns, leaners, trip hazard trees. There are still some step overs that I might take care of next year. I clipped a few dozen trees to help prevent face-thwaps. Forest services did some great axe and saw work a few weeks ago. There is still some brushing to do along the ridge, but it has improved. About .3 mile south of S Resolution, there was a section of washout and a small path forming around it. I added a step and covered the bypass. WARNING! There is an exposed ground wasp nest above the second waterbar at 2052 feet elevation, south of Mt Parker. They are out in force this year. The summit of Parker has a lot of yellow jackets and bull wasps buzzing everywhere. Use caution, and don’t stomp. I’ll be contacting the Forest Service to ask them about adding a warning sign to the trailhead.”
