 | Comments: |
The lower portion of the Mt. Cabot Trail is considered by the USFS to be closed. Mount Cabot Trail below the Bunnell Brook crossing is a wet and muddy mess and is eroding. Trail can be tough to follow in a couple of spots. Above the crossing trail is much easier to follow. Kilkenny ridge has packed snow after Bunnel Rock outlook but not to bad. descending Cabot and the Bulge is where the snow is slippery and slows you down but there's no traction required at all. |
