Water crossings were tough. The rocks were slippery so I just charged through. |

The Kinsman Pond Trail is hard to find sometimes due to all the roots and the trail being a stream bed. Thanks to the people who stack wood on paths that seem like the right way to go, but are not. No major blow downs. |

Dogs on the Kinsman Ridge trail were awesome. Kudos to them, that is one tough trail for dogs. |

North and South Kinsman were beautiful on Sunday. What an amazing, tough climb to get to them. The views from South Kinsman were amazing and it was great to sit on a windless summit with 360 degree views. I saw so many young kids bagging peaks today - it's great to see parents taking their kids on big mountains. With the warm temperatures the last few days there is a lot of water on the trails after getting so much early snow. It was a good day. |
