2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Zealand Mtn. (49 of 67)

The 49th peak in my quest for 67 in one year would be Zealand Mountain. A good peak to do on a cloudy day as it doesn't have much for views. The hike was 12.6 miles with 2,221 ft overall elevation gain and 3,095 ft total elevation gain. It was cloudy to start, but cleared up partially later in the day. It was 38 degrees on the summit with very little wind
