13OCT19 - Kinsman North, Kinsman South, and Bald Peak

Those of you playing along from the start know I got rained out when trying for both Kinsman peaks. I took a different way up for a solo trek up

History:No history lesson today, see previous post i guess.

Peak Elevation: 4293 ft. (North), 4358 ft. (South), 2470ft (Bald Peak)
Elevation Gain: 3300ish ft
Trail: Mt. Kinsman Tr., Kinsman Ridge Tr.
Length: 10.4 mi


I needed to get the South Kinsman peak done and this way seemed better than redoing the Fishin' Jimmy and was shorter than coming from the south. Started out at the Mt Kinsman Trailhead parking lot, which had a bunch of cars there, and got right to work. Bald peak had some nice views to the West of Kinsman Ridge. Then a quick stab to North Kinsman for my 2nd visit there. I kept going in case weather rolled up on me again, and was elated to get there. a good bit of mileage here but worth it. going down from North peak was a piece of cake, but did have to stop and stretch at one point. the awkward thingw as there was some hiker and her male friend were stopped as she was peeing off trail, and they were waiting for me for some reason to pass. I saw nothing, i promise.
