Comments
Comments: Beautiful sunny day to be out on the trail - finally got that view from the cabin! Trail conditions were absolutely ideal. We barebooted the whole time but also saw folks in light traction.

Came across a couple guys who had done a backpacking trip loop via Unknown Pond, so the trail is broken out between the summit and Unknown Pond thanks to them.
