I hiked Cabot Mountain on February 21, 2021, with Chuckles and MaryBeth. It is a long drive (the northernmost of the 48 4000', a 2.5 hour drive) and we got a late start. Started hiking just after 12:00 pm. It was a windy day so Cabot seemed like a well-protected choice and this was not wrong. The only wind was right at the top. I did not expect such a beautiful hike and views! It is not a tough hike and we were able to wear just spikes the whole way. From just below the cabin we were even able to sled down for a good section (maybe about a mile a so). The sledding was awesome, well-sided trails meant we could even maneuver turns. It was MBs first mountain sledding and she loved it too. Got some awesome pics! On York Pond Road, in the dark on the way home, a moose came in front of my truck. We both skidded in the snow but it was not close. I hope Moosey was not scared, he/she was so beautiful. This is definitely a great hike to take visitors to our state who are in shape. It is 9.2 miles but not too much elevation gain, only 2828, and seemed like a very relaxing hike. I only noticed my hip flexors a bit towards the end of the climbing so that is an improvement over the last few hikes. Could it be not wearing snowshoes? Or the glute strengthening I have been doing?
