This was my second time hiking Mt. Parker, at the same time of year as the first. That hike had its own attractions, but there was no view beyond the summit area due to fog/cloud, so I'm not counting it. This hike turned out to be a spectacular way to finish off the 52 With A View list. There was no snow on Mt. Parker, but the Presidentials and some of the other peaks were covered with snow on a sunny, beautiful autumn day. The views in many directions are a great reward for a nice hike in the woods. Oak Ridge is fun. Don't miss the lone grave in the tiny cemetery on the east side of the trail near the trailhead of Dr. Leonard M. Eudy, "he gave his life for the people of Barlett." |
