Mile 1,513.8
Elevation 1,883 feet
Miles Hiked 9.7
In miles this was a short day, but there were three strenuous climbs. The first was Bear Mountain, which was a 700 foot elevation gain. Then Mount Race with a 1,000 foot elevation gain. Mount Race was a scary climb, because you walk on a rock ledge a few feet from the edge of the mountain peak. One wrong step and you’re doing a header more than a 1,000 feet straight down. The steep climb down on rocks wasn’t much fun either. Last, there was Mount Everett with a 700 foot elevation gain. A fun day.
During the hike I crossed into Massachusetts, so that’s another state down.
When I arrived at the shelter I setup my tent. The shelter is really small and besides, I sleep better in my tent. There were a bunch of hikers present and a ridge runner. We sat by a campfire for awhile until it was time to head to our tents and bed.
