1. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Mt. Waumbek (25 of 48)

The 25th mountain would be Mt. Waumbek at 4,006 ft.
This hike was approximately 7.2 miles in length and had an overall elevation gain of 2,550 ft.
It was hiked on 12-24-11 on a day where the sun was shinning after some early morning cloud cover. The temp when I started was 7 degrees and on the summit it had warmed up to 8.5 degrees. Back to the truck at the end of the hike it was 16 degrees. There was almost no wind. It was a great hike with some gorgeous views. Nice to be hiking in winter conditions again. This was the second hike within a week where I didn't see any other hikers.
