  • Stone staircase along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire in July 2015. Built around 2014 and seen here in July 2015, this appears to be considered completed trail work. However, the left-side looks unfinished.

  • 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.

  • October 2014 - Fairly new stone steps along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. The large hole on the left was created when the steps were built. Water that runs down the trail and hillside can now build up in this hole and undermine the stone steps, which will cause more erosion damage to this section of trail. This is not minimal impact trail work.
