2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Cannon Mtn. 9.14.19

The annual Flags on the 48 memorial hike. This year our team did Cannon Mountain. Weather for the day was cloudy, windy, and some rain. While that made for good flag flying conditions, it made for poor views, but that isn't what this hike is about anyways. Today's hike was 5.26 miles with 2,644 feet of overall elevation gain

  • The view was quite limited today, maybe 150-200 feet
  • I put in a quarter, but it didn't let me see any more of the view than without it
  • We were in the clouds with a steady wind the whole time at the summit
  • Looking down the tram line
  • The cables for the tram disappearing off into nothingness
  • A thermometer at the summit says it's only about 40 degrees today
  • The tram car just coming into sight
  • Getting closer to the building
  • They slowed the cars right down when they got up to the building as the wind was making them swing back and forth some
  • So he would't blow away at the summit, Miles came out back down at the top of the tramway
  • Heading back down into the trees
  • The trail coming down through the short trees up high
  • The trail crosses and follows one of the ski glades
  • Heading down while following the ski glades
  • An open slab of rock along the trail. A bit trickier today with all the moisture
  • Looking back up the trail after coming down a tricky section (given how damp everything is)
