Had a great time hiking recently with a friend up in the White Mountains. The foliage was gone but the snow had begun. We hiked along the Kilkenny Ridgeline, one of the more isolated sections of the Whites. There are a couple spectacular viewpoints but much of the 26 mile hike is in the woods on trails that ascend and descend two 4000 footers and multiple smaller peaks. My choice of footwear was dumb and problematic but I ultimately did not pay a price for it. Temps dropped to 25 degrees F at night but my combination of Hammock Gear Phoenix 30 and Burrow 20 served me well. That said, I won't deny I thought longingly of my Incubator 0 which would have had me cookin' all night long.
Second day was much easier than the first but we were both tired. We took our time and enjoyed the best views of the trip at the Horn and Rogers Ledge. We also visited the Devil's Hopyard which featured incredible mossy rocks and underground streams. A very unique canyon situated between the hills. I slipped and drenched an arm on the slippery rocks, thankfully no damage and also thankfully at the very end of the trip.
This ended up being my longest video at 23 minutes but it captures the full trip. Let me know what you think!
