Today, two Holderness friends Amanda and Emily and I, hiked North and South Kinsman. This was a long, long hike. The trail first went up to Lonesome Lake, a beautiful hidden lake in the middle of the mountains. At the lake there is a really neat AMC campsite along with cabins and a dining hall. From the lake there were a wide variety of trails we could take. We took the kinsman ridge trail. This was a long, steep, 5-mile trail. After hours on this, we arrived at yet another lake. A steep trail from this led up to North Kinsman. The top was cool because it was a cliff overlooking great views of many peaks, and even Loon Mountain. The trip from North to South Kinsman was not very hard. At the top of South Kinsman there was yet another massive pile of rocks signifying the top. We went down a shorter path to Lonesome Lake. We were so hungry; we even stopped in the AMC hut and bought some soup. The trip took us a total of 7 hours, the longest of all of the hikes I have done so far.
