2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Owl's Head (66 of 67)

Peak 66 for this year would be Owl's Head at 4,025 ft. I hiked it on 1-22-15 on a day that was sunny with almost no wind. The summit temperature was 19 degrees and was quite nice with the added sun through the trees. The hike was 16.8 miles with 2,907 feet of overall gain and 3,457 feet of total elevation gain.
