Sunday, August 11, 2013. Mt Kinsman (North) - 4293' Mt. Kinsman (South) - 4358' and Cannon Mt. - 4100' (20/48). What better way to welcome Paloma back from her two-week business trip in Brazil than by tackling a monster hike? To the summit of Cannon Mt. Our original plan was to then head back down to the junction with the Lonesome Lake trail and take that to the trail head, but we ended up changing plans and taking the Hi-Cannon trail down to the base from Cannon.

Wednesday, September 23, 2015. Owl's Head - 4025' (40/48). We set off on our adventure on Saturday morning at around 6:30AM. The ride up 93 was uneventful, per usual, until we reached the Concord, NH area and saw the remains of about two dozen pumpkins that appeared to have fallen off a truck earlier that morning. Welp, guess that was as good of a sign as any that autumn is here (my favorite season)! Summit of Owl's Head! We encountered a couple of hikers on their way back and they offered us encourageme...

Sunday, March 30, 2014. Mt Lincoln- 5089' (25/48). Ever since our failed attempt at bagging Mt. Lincoln while hiking Mt. Lafayette. Falling Waters - Appropriate Name! Our hearts were racing and our legs were burning. This was a difficult section. We stopped for a quick snack break of Raisinets and clementines to refuel our bodies before the final push. Lunch on Little Haystack. I would have been devastated if we turned back and figured out we had only hiked Little Haystack! If you ever plan to hike with ...
