Mt. Cabot June 25, 2006

It continues to rain but today promises to be a sunny day, at least in the northern Whites before the next storm system returns. It is a Sunday and Sundays are a good day for a hike. Mt. Cabot in the northern fringe of the Whites is a good choice. We select the abandoned Mt. Cabot trail for the climb. The trail although very wet and muddy in places is easy to follow and climbs at moderate grades. Given the wetness of some trails it is the moderate grades, along with its location (outside storm paths) that attracted to this hike today. The bugs were thick along with high humidity. But the moderate grades and good footing allowed us to make good time especially coming down the trail. The good footing was a treat after the roughness of the Mt. Madison hike and the slow going coming down. This was #33

Distance 7.8 ; Climb 2750 ft; Elevation 4170 ft.
