| Comments: |
Started the hike with wet leaves and lots of mud. As we gained elevation, slush became wet snow. Close to a foot of powder on the summits of Cabot and Horn. Microspikes needed. Coming down the Unknown Pond Trail, there was a flooded area on the trail so we had to bushwack around it. Challenging conditions. |
