2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Mt. Mansfield (67 of 67)

The 67th and final peak for my goal of the New England 67 in one year would be Mt. Mansfield at 4,393 ft. I hiked it 1-24-15 which was the last possible day of the time frame I gave myself. The day started off with some clouds and became more sunny as it went on. The wind was averaging 9 mph with gusts of 11 mph which made the summit temperature of 24 degrees feel like 13. The hike was 6.13 miles with 2,860 feet of overall gain and 3,113 feet of total elevation gain.
