 | Comments: |
The path is packed down up to what I'm told is the true summit, a ways past the "Mt. Cabot, 4120 feet" sign. It's just a tree and a stump with snowshoe prints going around it. I did not see any "4180" sign anywhere. The snow is too deep for the cairn to show and the smaller wood carving indicating the true summit was removed, by jerks I'm told, in 2016. |
