Jane, Pam, and Dick went for a nice fall hike up to North and South Hancock, under cool and sunny skies. One nice thing about this hike is the fairly easy two miles or so of very easy grade to start out. That steep climb up to the north peak makes up for that, though. There is a nice outlook a few yards off the summit for viewing southwestward, looking over at the north sides of the Osceolas and Tripyramids, After that break, it was a fairly fast 1.4 miles over to the south peak, with its own lookout just off the summit. We had lunch there, looking out at the SE side of Carrigain, further over at Kearsarge North above North Conway, then Chocorua and Paugus. Below are Pam at Jane after lunch, as we were about to head down.
