"A" Hike June 24 Kinsmans

Seven of us hiked to the North Peak and South Peak of Kinsman Mtn. on Monday June 24. The weather was superb, offering tremendous views from the summits. We stopped at Lonesome Lake and the Lonesome Lake Hut. Pam and Doug took a slight detour to see Kinsman Pond at 3750 feet. We started at Lafayette Place Campground and went up the Lonesome Lake, Fishin' Jimmy and Kinsman Ridge trails.

The views from the summits included, Cannon, Starr King, Waumbek, Cabot, Lafayette, Lincoln, Little haystack, Liberty, Flume, some of the Bonds, Osceola, East Osceola and many in the southern Whites. In Vermont, the peaks of Mansfield, Camel's Hump, Pico and Killington were spotted. I'll have to bring a check list with me on future hikes as it is too easy to forget what we've seen.

Above are Frank, Sandy, Denise, Dick, Pam and Doug. Bob was being camera shy.

We hope others can join us for the great hikes, views and company.
