I hiked North and South Kinsman. This is the view of the Franconia ridge across I-93, featuring Layafette on the left (
>>2679490) and Flume (
>>2689435) on the right.
The hike was nice and simple. Very slow incline the entire time and I felt like I was back in the west where there are switchbacks. The buckles on my boots sheared off from
>>2691762 and I bought new boots. I'm glad I took this hike since I had 3 blisters (and popped) from this hike. Climbing up the 2nd peak was not the most fun. I also was playing some sports earlier and so I exhausted myself on this hike. Good stuff, good starting hike up Kinsman.
