Date of Hike: 05-19-2015
Trail Conditions: Trails in good shape overall, First 1/4 mile of Parker from the road has a deep leaf cover over some rocks that could be ankle turners. Descending White Arrow, as it gets flatter, it gets wetter.
Special Equipment Required: None. While I was up top there were no views but sun played peek-a -boo most of the afternoon. Bug Spray was good to have, mostly mosquitos.
Comments: First time going up from the park HQ in probably 20 years. Forgot how steep it was after many trips on the Dublin and White Arrow. (most WA trips in winter). Overall, a very nice loop but not really a good choice for novices. I'm heading up at the end of the month and plan on going up the Dublin trail as a warm-up for a group that is heading to Mizpah (by various routes) at the end of June. Three guys had a fire going right at the summit while I was there.
