Started at Copermine trail and hiked up to the falls. The trail is in great shape and the falls are beautiful. From the falls, I took a bearing on west cannon ball. The woods were open at the start. Eventually, I hit some very difficult blowdown areas, which resulted in very slow going. There were some nice views from the blowdown areas. Eventually, I got passed the blowdowns and only had to deal with thick woods. Soon I hit the Kinsman ridge tr. just east of West Cannonball.
I took the Kinsman ridge tr., which was wet in places to South Kinsman and back to Mt. Kinsman tr. Mt. Kinsman tr. was an easy walk down. The flume side path is very easy to miss when descending. It is just after the bald spur, right at a crossing. I missed it and headed back up a short distance (I thought it was mandatory for redlining, but I know realize it is not). Some kind folks pointed me in the right direction to do the spur. I caught up with the same group and ended up getting a ride back, avoiding the 1.1 road walk. Thanks.
