Looking up the Kilkenny Ridge Trail Route: York Pond Trail, Bunnell Notch Trail, Kilkenny Ridge Trail, (Mt. Cabot), Kilkenny Ridge Trail, bushwhack, Kilkenny Ridge Trail, Bunnell Notch Trail, York Pond Trail A nasty, rainy day, Cabot seemed like a good choice - just far enough north to be removed from heavy rains. Starting in a drizzle, we worked our way up the logging roads and eventually the Bunnell Notch Trail. The winds were whipping up high. In addition, as we climbed, we entered into a sleet/snow storm. After reaching the highpoint, we headed back to the Cabot Cabin for a brief snack break. On the way down, we bushwhacked off the Kilkenny Ridge Trail to the side of the massive talus field on the south face of the mountain. We opted not to go too far into the field, as the wind-driven-sleet and lack of views was less than inspiring. Nonetheless, a neat place to visit. By the time we returned to the parking area, snow had overtaken the rain. Hike Ratings Getting To Trailhead: Easy Destination: Mt.
