Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: The stretch of Mt Parker Trail between Mt Parker and Davis Path is very brushy and has many blowdowns - an obstacle course in places and sometimes hard to follow. The spur to the outlook south just before Mt Resolution is not signed and looks to be unmaintained-- fortunately, once you get there, the outlook is completely OUTSTANDING!!!! 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: not much water at the upper elevations 
Bugs
Bugs: windy enough to keep most bugs away unless you're in the parking lots. At the Davis Path parking area, where I hid/locked my bike, the bugs ate me alive as I switched to biking shoes for the return ride. Never used DEET all day.

Comments
Comments: GREAT day to get these trails. Cave Mtn and the other bumps and ledges along the ridge are awesome!!! Also, I left the trail to tag Resolution but not sure if I found the high point or not - oh well!!!!! Saw almost noone until down below Mt Crawford. Saw 1 female ranger near the old Resolution Shelter Site.


Turned out to be a good bike spot. Mostly downhill back to Bartlett. At the end of the day having a swimming spot in the Saco River right across from the parking area was AWESOME!!!! But it was a little cccccold!!!!
