I hiked up to North Kinsman, via the Mt Kinsman Trail. The hike was about 7.6 miles total, in a speedy 5 h 15 min.

Sadly there was no view at the top - it was entirely obscured by clouds. But I got this nice shot from Bald Peak on the way back down.

North Kinsman is my seventh 4000-footer, with the summit at 4293 feet. The climb was one of the more reasonable ones so far. I would have gone on to South Kinsman, but rain was threatening.
