| Comments: |
Trail had not been used since last snow storm. About 6 inches of new wet snow down low and 12+ inches up high. The snow from about 2700 feet and up had a frozen crust on it that made trail breaking slow. Trail is not packed but it's broken out as well as one guy and his dog could do. I was on and off the trail from Cabot cabin to the summit but my tracks will take you there. About a half mile from the junction of Bunnell Notch trail and Kilkenny ridge trail on the way to Cabot I lost the trail for a little bit. Follow the tracks that go to the right. |
