Date of Hike: 8/6/15
Lonesome Lake Trail: 1.2 miles / Fishin Jimmy Trail: 1.8 miles / Kinsman Ridge Trail: 3.4 miles / Fishin' Jimmy Trail: 1.8 miles / Lonesome Lake Trail: 1.3 miles
Total Miles: 9.4 miles (3,214 feet elevation gained)
Trip Report:
- Late afternoon / early evening hike up to North and South Kinsman. Had been awhile since I had hiked up the Fishin' Jimmy Trail, still not the most exciting trail. Views from South Kinsman were excellent and I saw a moose on the way out with a baby calf in Lonesome Lake. :)
