| Comments: |
Brisk wind, cold temperatures and coating of overnight snow up high gave this a winter hike feel. Was able to bareboot from Cabot summit to Horn and deep firm snowpack. Snowshoes to Unknown Pond. Stellar views as always at the Horn. Fresh bear tracks near Horn spur sign and large moose population around Unknown Pond. KRT up and over Bulge can be difficult finding with alot of snow. |
