 | Comments: |
It was clear that the York Pond trail had been hiked recently but we but we couldn't find any evidence that the Kilkenney Ridge Trail up to N Weeks had been used. We wandered off and back on the Kilkenney Ridge Trail a few times. Corridor is not well defined in spots heading to the summit. Still the trail breaking wasn't as tough as we imagined it might be. There seemed to be a consolidated base underneath whether we were on trail or off.
Thanks to Steve (Spot) and Fran M for a very fun and satisfying adventure. |
