1. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Owl's Head (28 of 48)

The 28th mountain would be Owl's Head at 4,025 ft.
This hike was approximately 15 miles in length and had an overall elevation gain of 2,890 ft. It was hiked on 3-4-12 on a day where temps were just below freezing on the summit and the wind was relatively calm with only occasional gusts. It started to snow lightly in the late afternoon and picked up after dark while I finished the hike back out to my truck by headlamp. This was a long hike even with the common shortcuts. Going up the slide that is the Owl's Head Path rather than the common bushwhack proved to be quite hard and very time consuming.
