Comments
Comments: After the week of big rain we expected lots of drama but it was not to be. Lots of dry trail down low (and some higher too!) Mud, as is to be expected in Spring, but mostly avoidable except for a couple areas. Solid monorail at about 3300 feet, micro spikes make for easy going.
All in all a lovely Spring day, conditions really very decent, couldn't ask for a better weather day, saw a few decent sized groups of backpackers all whom seemed to be loving life and enjoying the day. We have never hiked Cabot on a nice day, and by golly who would have thought- it's a really nice hike when it isn't pouring rain or 17 degree ice.
