Description: Join us for a 2-day backpack along the Kinsman Ridge covering just over 13 miles and climbing ~4600ft over 2 days, while summiting Mount Wolf (3448 ft), South Kinsman (4331 ft), and North Kinsman (4293 ft). South and North Kinsman are both on the NH48 list of 4K-footers, and South Kinsman in particular has stunning views in almost every direction, including of Franconia Range to the east. We plan to overnight at Eliza Brook Shelter on Saturday and pop into Lonesome Lake Hut on Sunday to pass our AMC150 flag to the next hiking group in the AMC150 relay. Registrants for this hike will receive a questionnaire to fill out about their hiking and backpacking experience and current fitness before confirmation on the hike.
Each day will be relatively moderate (for the Whites) at 6-7 miles of distance and ~2300ft of elevation gain, and we’ll plan to go at a reasonable pace of 1.5-2mph. The hike will be one-way along the Kinsman Ridge with a car spot to get us back to our vehicles at the end.
