Comments
Comments: We planned to do Bulge and Horn but there was so much mushy snow on the ridge that we turned back and descended via Bunnell Notch. We did not have snowshoes and highly recommend them if you’re going to hike the ridge. Good old spring hiking—plenty of mud, slush, ice, you name it but it was a beautiful day!
