  • July 2016 - Newly built stone steps along the Mount Tecumseh Trail in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire during the summer months. Trail stewardship groups promote that minimal stonework should be done along trails. And that stonework should look natural and blend in with the surroundings.

  • Mt Tecumseh Trail in the Waterville Valley, New Hampshire in September 2011. Trail stewardship groups suggest that only needed stone structures that benefit the trail should be built along a trail and that the best maintained trails will have stonework that looks natural. The row of rocks on the right may be to discourage hikers from going around the steps, but it is unneeded. Using brush and dead trees to block that side would be the better option, and it would look natural. It is believed this section of stonework was built in 2011.

  • An area along the Mt. Tecumseh Trail in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire during the spring of 2017 that is in desperate need of drainage work. Over the last six years, there has been over a quarter of a mile of stonework done on this trail, but this high priority area has been ignored. Trail maintenance organizations say high priority areas of a trail are first and foremost.

  • May 2012 - Stone structures (walls) along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in Waterville Valley. Trail stewardship groups suggest only needed stone structures that benefit the trail should be built along a trail. And the best maintained trails have stonework that looks natural and blends in with the surroundings. Proper parties have since removed these walls.

  • May 2015 - Trail erosion along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. When this staircase was built in 2011, two holes on the hillside of the trail were not filled in. And the hole above the moss covered rock has continued to erode away and has tripled in size since 2011. See how this section looked in 2011: http://bit.ly/3760BXz

  • September 2014 - Stone staircase along Mt Tecumseh Trail in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire during the summer months. A herd path has formed on the left side of the steps from hikers avoiding (not using) the steps. Herd paths are a common problem along trails, and if they are not blocked, they can create more trail erosion issues. When this image was taken, this staircase was only a few years old.

  • 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.

  • Non-conforming stone structures (wall) along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in the New Hampshire White Mountains during the summer of 2011. Water bar across trail is per guidelines. Trail maintenance handbooks suggest the best trails show little evidence of trail work and that work should blend in with the surroundings. After a trail inspection by Forest Service in June 2012, the walls on each side of the drainage may be removed because they have no real use.

  • 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.
