2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Mt. Waumbek (55 of 67)

Peak 55 for this year would be Mt. Waumbek at 4,006 ft. I hiked it on 11-2-14 on a day that was overcast with clouds that allowed some views from the peak. It was 22 degrees on the summit with little wind. The hike was 7.2 miles with 2,466 feet of overall gain and 3,173 feet of total elevation gain.
