| Comments: |
This is a great hike. Bunnell Notch and Kilkenny trails were in very good shape and the grades were moderate throughout the trail. When you get to the summit of Cabot, there is a small side trail about 50 yards away from the summit sign where there is a summit cairn marking the true peak. The views from The Horn were the best of any of the peaks and were amazing looking south to Mt. Washington and the presidentials. The Unknown Pond Trail was very wet in places. |
