2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Mt. Carrigain (56 of 67)

Peak 56 for this year would be Mt. Carrigain at 4,700 ft. I hiked it on 11-8-14 on a day that was started a little cloudy and became more sunny. The wind was averaging 16 mph and gusting to 19 mph. This made the 19 degree temperature become a 2 degree wind chill. The hike was 10.5 miles with 3,392 feet of overall gain and 3,572 feet of total elevation gain.
