first quarter mile of Parker trail from Old Toll road has deep leaf cover hiding potential ankle turning rocks. For the experienced hiker they are a non-issue, however, many who climb Monadnock are relative newcomers. |

 | Comments: |
Just the second time out of twenty-one I've gone up from the park HQ. Going back in a couple of weeks with the boy scouts and camping in one of the youth sites as a warm-up for a White Mountain trip in June. White Cross and White Dot much steeper than most of our planned trip in June. When we go back, we'll drive over to the Dublin trail which is what we did years ago to get another teenage group ready for the Whites. |
