Comments
Comments: Drove through heavy downpours Saturday morning to hike rain free the whole time. Certainly rewarded with outstanding weather. Not one hiker the whole way up to Cannon. Then the rest of the way to Kinsman Pnd was alone.Spikes on and off during the day. Met some other hikers that set up camp on the platforms while I had the shelter all to myself. Sunday hike up to North Kinsman great views. Wanted to head over to South Kinsman but decided not to do so. Kept spikes on the whole way down Fishin Jimmy all the way to Lonesome lake. Very surprised at how some hikes were heading up unprepared. Not very dangerous without spikes just annoying and tiresome. Really enjoyed the last leg on Pemi trail. Great Views of Cannon, Lincoln Lafayette!
