2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Killington Peak (57 of 67)

Peak 57 for this year would be Killington Peak in VT at 4,235 ft. I hiked it on 11-15-14 on a day that was sunny all day long. The wind was averaging 11 mph and gusting to 17 mph. This made the 11 degree temperature become a -4 degree wind chill. The hike was 8.14 miles with 2,393 feet of overall gain and 2,691 feet of total elevation gain.
