  • Mt Tecumseh, August 2021 - A tree wound on a birch tree along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in New Hampshire. This tree wound is the result of man not using proper protocol to remove a painted trail marker (blaze) from the tree. A yellow trail blaze was painted on the tree in 2011, and then it was improperly removed from the tree in the spring of 2012. The bark, where the blaze was, was cut and peeled away creating a tree wound where rot, fungus, and insects could enter the tree. And this is how the wound looked in August 2021. Most trail maintenance organizations in the White Mountains no longer use this practice of blaze removal because it damages trees and goes against leave no trace principles.

  • Two stone steps covered in leaf drop along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in the New Hampshire White Mountains on an autumn day in 2020. When building stone steps along a trail, the norm is to place scree (rocks) or brush alongside the steps. The latter is usually done because it looks natural. Placing the scree and / or brush on the side of the steps discourages hikers from going around the steps, and potentially creating more trail erosion issues.

  • A stretch of the Mt Tecumseh Trail in New Hampshire covered in leaf drop. A herd path is forming in the woods on the right-hand side of the trail from hikers bypassing this section of trail work. If this area isn’t blocked off, over time, a herd path will form and potentially create more erosion issues. And this defeats the purpose of the trail stonework.

  • Mt Tecumseh Trail in the New Hampshire White Mountains on a wet spring day in May 2017. This staircase was built sometime after July 1, 2013. And a herd path has already formed on the right side of the steps from hikers avoiding the steps. Hikers are also avoiding the steps by using the old section of trail that is on the left side of the steps. When herd paths are not blocked off it creates more erosion issues along trails, and this defeats the purpose of building the staircase.

  • Stone steps along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire in May 2016. A herd path has formed on the right-hand side of the steps from hikers avoiding (not using) the steps. Hikers are also avoiding the steps by using the old section of trail that is on the left-hand side of the steps. If these herd paths are not blocked off, it will lead to more erosion issues in this section of trail. And this defeats the purpose of the staircase. These steps are only a couple of years old.
