 | Comments: |
Kilkenny Ridge trail is a rough go with plenty of roots and large rocks to pick your way around. Feels much wilder than many other trails. No views on the Horn as everything was in the clouds. Met some people heading the opposite direction from their tent site at Unknown Pond. Unknown Pond trail was relatively steep descending from the pond, but levels out nicely for the last mile and a half. A rigorous loop! |
