North & South Kinsman

On Sunday March 9th we hiked the north and south kinsmans mountains. The bottom part of the trail was solid ice with no snow. A little higher up we hiked into winter conditions. At the summit of South it was a full on snow storm coming at us, and even gave us a light snow fall for the hike back down.

Join us on this 10 -mile out-and-back trail near Sugar Hill, New Hampshire. Generally considered a challenging route with an elevation gain of 3218 feet, it takes an average of 7 hours to complete. 

The first two miles of the hike are relatively flat, with the majority of the elevation gain coming during the third and fourth miles on the ascent.  Microspikes will be needed. 

If you have questions about winter hiking or gear needed, please email me.  Hikers can stay at my house (5 min from trailhead) if desired.
