 | Comments: |
The Unknown Pond trail was muddy on the lower reaches; after that, it and the Kilkenny Ridge Trail to the Horn was wet with minor mud. The Horn was completely socked-in with whipping wind; Unknown Pond was not socked-in on the way up, but it was on the way down. The scrambles below the summit, particularly the last one, were very slippery. When I hike Cabot, I will re-visit the Horn to get the views I missed. |
