"Solo. Parked in the AT lot just south of the visitor center for the park as I had read there was a time limit in that lot. It was a brisk 12° or so when I started out at 0930. The trail was flat and wide, and very evident that in warmer seasons it’s a mucky nightmare and very eroded. Once I crossed the park road into the woods proper, I was on a rocky and gently uphill climb. I was expecting full cloud cover, but I did get some blue sky (albeit hazy) and some sun! I could see the obelisk on trail, and shortly came up to to the observation deck, which is very nicely constructed and prett" - High Point (New Jersey), kellieirene, Jan 17, 2019

"River crossing was almost knee deep. Surprised to run into two guys coming up out of the crux as I was going down. The weather was perfect so I guess they had the same idea except they hiked the powerline from Nakiska said it took them an hour." - Mary Barclay, Randy, Jan 14, 2019

"Parked at Aldergate Park near the intersection of Menifee Rd and Aldergate. Followed the sidewalk past the dog park to the start of the trail next to Menifee Road. The trail starts out as a dirt road which continues along the base of the hills. Instead of staying on the dirt road, I picked up a trail that rose to the ridge line. From there, I used the big white cross as my reference point. I reached the big cross on top of Peak 2082 in about 2 miles. I continued on to Peak 1850 and Peak 1732 down the declining ridge. After the third summit I did a x-country descent to the dirt road below." - Peak 1850 ft, Peak-Conquistador, Jan 13, 2019

"Cold start at dawn, only 7 degrees. Very icy all the way to the summit requiring microspikes. Not enough snow for snowshoes. Did not see another should the whole morning until I returned to the parking lot." - Nutting Hill, rjnick, Jan 13, 2019
