"Beautiful day in the White mountains! Hiked up to Lonesome lake then onto the Kinsmens via the Fishing Jim trail. Ran into many north and south bound thru hikers and enjoyed the company of many hikers." — blackwolf_03278 • Jul 7, 2019
"2 semaines solo de pure plaisir à faire du hiking à différentes places dont les Whites Moutains.3ieme journée et je suis enfin rendu dans les Whites!!! Je commence avec cette suite exigeante de sommets. De Cannon à Kinsman. La vue est malheureusement complètement obstrué par le brouillard. Je ne peux pas admirer la vu du notch" — fsoucy76 • Sep 19, 2018
"Thought we were getting a sunny day but summits along ridge were socked in. Hit Kinsman Pond and Bald Peak too. Must have been some sort of AMC thing going on. Large groups of hikers everywhere on the ridge." — Alohabuffy • Jan 20, 2018
"Part of my AMC mentored hike. We went over to S. Kinsman and the cloud cover was breaking up. We then returned to N. Kinsman and were rewarded with great views. We then slowly made our way back to the trailhead. Everyone survived and seemed to be in good spirits. I learned a lot from this day's hike." — newenglandwarrior • May 27, 2017
"Winter climb and my first ascent in New Hampshire since breaking my foot on Tecumseh. Joined Ally and a crew from Boston for this one. It was a bluebird day - cold - and breezy. " — ne4kclimber • Mar 4, 2017
"This was my first winter 48 solo.....I don't know how I have been so fortunate to have so many hiking partners!! This was a tough mountain perhaps because of the mental game of hiking solo. But I managed bald peak, north and south kinsman in 4.5 hours. Lots of sun in the start and lots of clouds in the end. I only saw 2 fellow hikers all day." — shay-shay • Feb 27, 2017
"this trail is super unfriendly to knees. Highly recommend using poles and not doing this trail in the rain. Cascade Brook trial has some pretty views but it's very flooded and not worth the extra hour. " — kaylajean • Oct 3, 2015
"A nice 12+ mile loop starting at Lafayette Campground heading up to Cannon via the Hi-Cannon trail and then taking the Kinsman Ridge Trail over the Cannon Balls to North Kinsman and then South Kinsman and then returning via the Fishin' Jimmy Trail to Lafayette Campground. Met quite a few thru hikers (Gonzo, Nacho Libre, Big Ben, Aussie) plus quite a few day hikers" — markst-john • Jul 3, 2015
"Had a 'fun' time breaking trail up Fishing Jimmy. Under the new snow was some very thick ice and made for interesting scrambles up and over some of the rocks. Trail broken out and a number of others bagged South and North Kinsman today" — hiking4000 • Feb 8, 2014
"i hiked up fishin jimmy and dropped my pack at the kinsman pond shelter, then did both north and south kinsman, then came down to the shelter and met my friend immram. we camped at the shelter in one of the tent sites. rained all the way down the next morning. did a face plant on a slippery rock and got a black eye. good trip otherwise. " — Hufflepuff • Sep 9, 2013
"Area had received about 6 inches of snow during the night. Was overcast most of the day with snow showers. Decided not to do Cannon when my water started to freeze. Was a bit surprised with the amount of people on the trail - Lonesome Lake had quite a few people staying over night." — markst-john • Mar 16, 2013
"Combined with N Kinsman- left from the Basin up Basin Cascades to Cascade Brook to Kinsman Pond to Kinsman Ridge. Trail between North & South was uneventful and pretty quick in spite of looking SO far away. " — beaglelover • Aug 6, 2012
"Met Matt and Tom Wheeler @ AT Lot to exchange flag, logbook, & Katahdin summit rock as we began our segment of AOL AT Thru Hike. We all fell descending south side of South Kinsman. Difficult for me, but satisfying." — barbaratraver • Jul 9, 1995
