Cardigan Mountain

Today's adventure took Robin and I to Cardigan Mountain. What an amazing summit. We had to park in the Winter parking on Burnt Hill Road since the gate is closed, that adds just over half a mile each way road walk up to the actual trail head. We took West Ridge Trail up and down. Rather wet/muddy with some lingering snow on the lower part of the trail.  Upper part was somewhat icy, but we did fine in our spikes. There are a couple of scrambly sections, but thankfully some well placed trees and roots assist in those areas. It was super windy on the summit, so we didn't linger too long. Grabbed some pictures and headed back down.
