Previous hikes have been:
Cannon Mountain is the far-left green circle
just east of Cannon are Mount Lincoln and Mount Lafayette
south of them are Mount Flume and Mount Liberty (in the lower green circle)
Mount Hale is the middle-upper green circle
while today's hike (North Kinsman and South Kinsman) are in the red square:
Using Map My Walk, I went up Lonesome Lake Trail (1.4 miles), around the southeast side of Lonesome Lake (0.3 miles), then up Fishin' Jimmy Trail to Kinsman Junction (2.1 miles), then along the Kinsman Ridge Trail, stopping at the overlook on North Kinsman (0.6 miles), then over to South Kinsman summit (1.0 miles). I backtracked (1.5 miles) through North Knisman and took a right down the Kinsman Pond Trail (around beautiful Kinsman Pond!) (2.6 miles). When it intersected, I took a left up Cascade Brook Trail up to Lonesome Lake (0.9 miles), then returned down Lonesome Lake Trail to the parking area (1.5 miles). I covered 11.9 miles in 5 hours 15 minutes. I covered about 6,150 feet in climbing elevation (2420 up, 150 down, 250 up, 1920 down, 410 up, and then finally 1000 down):
Lonesome Lake Trail is a good trail, for hikers of just about all abilities:
Lonesome Lake is as beautiful as ever:
and it empties into the woods at the southern end
Fishin' Jimmy Trail gets a little crazy - that's the Trail going up on the left, and that's a mossy waterfall on the right
a nice view from a clearing
The Kinsman Ridge Trail
My selfie on North Kinsman
and the view across Franconia Notch at Mounts Lafayette, Lincoln, Liberty and Flume!!!
the view north towards Cannon Mountain
My selfie on South Kinsman (finally a cairn!!)
back down to Kinsman Pond Trail:
and Kinsman Pond (wow de wow de wow!!):
the trail literally goes down a brook:
another blog (SectionHiker) supports my impression of a wet tricky trail (but FUN)
the stream
and waterfall!!
the trail back up to Lonesome Lake (the top part of Cascade Brook Trail) is nice:
and that's all for today! WOW, what a HIKE - Thank you God for a GREAT DAY!
