2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

North Tripyramid & Middle Tripyramid (62-63 of 67)

Peaks 62 and 63 for this year would be North Tripyramid at 4,180 ft and Middle Tripyarmid at 4,140 ft. I hiked them on 12-27-14 on a day that was sunny to start but became more cloudy as the afternoon went on. The wind was averaging 4 mph which made the summit temperature of 25 degrees feel like 22. The hike was 12.5 miles including a road walk with 2,789 feet of overall gain and 3,465 feet of total elevation gain.

The Pine Bend Brook Trail starts off very easy

Tripyramids9045

  • The Pine Bend Brook Trail starts off very easy
  • Here the trail nears a small brook
  • I put on my snowshoes while stopped here. I was sinking in more than I wanted to with Microspikes on
  • Passing between a rock and some trees
  • There were a few small brook crossings on this route. None of which had formed a snow bridge yet
  • This section of trail was a bit wet and made for patchy snow along it
  • Heading up into the ravine now
  • Climbing up through the ravine, the trail gets steep in places
  • Where the trail pops up onto the ridge. The branches here are just some of the debris that had fallen into the trail recently
  • There was starting to be chunks of ice on the snow now
  • This chunk, which fell of a tree, would end up being pretty small compared to some of the massive chunks I found later on
  • The walk along the ridge through here is pretty nice
  • A view through the trees to Mt. Carrigain
  • Mt. Washington appears to be out of the clouds at the moment, but still near them
  • A closer look at Mt. Carrigain
  • Oh good, a thick layer of ice under the snow
  • The small opening at the summit of North Tripyramid
  • Next to the summit is a small opening in the trees
  • A view northeast from North Tripyramid
  • Mountains in the distance near Bartlett
