None. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Existing log waterbars have been recently cleaned, but several are rotted and failing in places; noted batch of dropped lumber at the start of the trail which I am guessing will replace these. The continued erosion on the steep section is slowly turning the trail into a trench. A couple of minor blowdowns that have been there a while. The entire trail could use updated blazing to be consistent in method, size and shape. |

Found a couple of teen-aged kids hammocking at the junction of Link Trail. |

| Comments: |
An afternoon leg-stretcher on Parker. Dry trail the whole way and as always, excellent views from the south ledges. A very warm day for early November, with bright sun and temps in the lower 70s. |
