1. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Mt. Tom, Mt. Field, & Mt. Willey (45-47 of 67)

Peaks 45-47 of my quest for 67 in a single year were Mt. Tom (4,051 ft), Mt. Field (4,340 ft), and Mt. Willey (4,285 ft). I hiked them from the back side compared to most hikers. Starting off on Zealand Road, doing a traverse of the ridge, and then looping back to the start going past Ethan Pond. The hike was 19.0 miles, with 2,260 ft. of overall elevation gain, and 3,667 ft. of total elevation gain. It was 66 degrees and sunny on the summits
