Cabot
9/22/2018
York Pond Trail, Bunnell Notch Trail, Kilkenny Ridge Trail
2,400 feet of elevation gain
9.6 miles round-trip
I solo hiked Cabot on Saturday, and I had a great time! It was chilly and the leaves were turning; I could feel that fall had arrived.
There I went...
A lovely little bridge:
Feeling good...
Fresh morning sky:
Going up...
Some beautiful leaves turned red and orange:
The intersection with Kilkenny Ridge Trail:
The trail was bespeckled with colorful fall leaves.
I took a few pictures at the viewpoint on the way up to Mt. Cabot:
After that brief stop, I continued...
I was excited to arrive at Cabot Cabin.
I hiked past the cabin for a couple tenths of a mile to tag the summit of Cabot.
After that, I went back to the cabin and had a snack. I heard mice crawling and squeaking above me in the ceiling the whole time, which was a little unsettling but also amusing.
Heading down, looking up...
The leaves cast many intricate shadows on the ground.
The ascent of Cabot is enjoyable; the trail is lovely!
