Looking up the Kilkenny Ridge Trail Route: York Pond Trail, Bunnell Notch Trail, Kilkenny Ridge Trail, (Mt. Cabot), Kilkenny Ridge Trail, Bunnell Notch Trail, York Pond Trail With Hurricane Ida passing through, it looked to be a wet day. With a slight opening in the morning, I decided to head north and try to get a quick 4,000 foot hike in. It was sprinkling lightly as I worked my way through the York Pond and Bunnell Notch woods road walks. Reaching the woods, the precipitation had let up. Though the ground was frozen in places, there wasn't any ice or snow to contend with on the trail. Having only been on the Bunnell Notch Trail once before, I forgot about all of the ups and downs - yuck. Reaching the summit area, I had zero views - normally I'd be a bit let down, but I was just glad that it wasn't raining. The rain resumed as I reached the Bunnell Notch Trail again. It fortunately never picked up much as I walked back out - good timing! Hike Ratings Getting To Trailhead: Easy Destination: Mt.
