Comments
Comments: Did this out and back to include the quick side trip to Kinsman Flume, quick side trip to Bald Peak, up to North Kinsman, and over to South Kinsman. A bit of mud and water on the trails, but nothing a good pair of hiking boots can’t handle!

Kinsman Flume was a quick 0.1 mile detour (one way), but we honestly didn’t find it to be amazing - it was hard to get a good look at the flume without getting too close to the edge. Great views from Bald Peak - well worth the 0.2 mile detour (one way) out there.

Saw about 12 other people all day.
