"Hiked the Mount Cardigan Loop Trail via the Mount Cardigan State Park parking lot. Beautiful. Got caught briefly in a short but windy and wet storm which added extra adventure points." — FL2NH • Sep 6, 2021
"Day started out very foggy. Hikes up west Ridge trail to intersection with South Ridge trail and then hiked up the latter. It was very empty, misty and wet. The steep section near the cliffs before the Skyland Trail intersection was particularly slippery with wet leaves so take care. No views in the fog from Rimrock but by the time I had gotten to South Peak, there were views starting to open up through the mist and occasional views of Cardigan. After staying about 1/2 hour on Cardigan, the sun started peeping through the vies were considerably better, including nice views of Firescrew. There were lots of people at the summit and on the way down, there seemed to be almost an endless stream of hikers heading up the West Ridge Trail. In retrospect, I should have returned the way I cam, up the South Ridge Trail. " — rjnick • Oct 3, 2020
"Cool and windy day on Mount Cardigan. Hiked up via West Ridge Trail to Skyland Trail to Rim Rock. Then over to South Peak and Mount Cardigan. Continued on over to Firescrew Mountain. Had lunch on Firescrew where there were no people. Mount Cardigan summit was fairly crowded. From there hiked back out via West Ridge Trail back to the parking lot. No bugs for a cool spring day." — dmcosker • May 31, 2020
"Fall hike to Cardigan summit. Crowded at summit and on trail. Took the less travelled trail over to South peak and then Rim Rock. South Ridge Trail back down to West Ridge." — dmcosker • Oct 5, 2019
"Loop hike with Kiki & Remy....we hit South Peak & Rimrock on our travels...luckily we were able to get the view on Rimrock before the heavy snow and wind began. Extremely windy on the summit but all in all a (fun) adventure." — shay-shay • Dec 28, 2016
"Awesomely, Hilarious hiking day today! Had a great time hiking Rimrock, South Peak and Mt. Cardigan with Kiki and Shay! Trails were packed, and in great conditions. A few icy spots, but nothing micros couldn't handle. Snow tomorrow and Friday will change that." — Remy1 • Dec 28, 2016
