Summary

Full discloure: I have never done this hike! I've only done a couple of the 4k footers, so I'm putting this activity out there because I'd really like to add another one to the list.

The link to the hike is here: Cannon Mountain via Kinsman Ridge Trail. It's ~4 miles and there's 2,263 ft elev. gain.

I put 8:30am for a meetup time, but I am definitely flexible on that---I just have a ~2.5 hour drive to the trailhead, so that's my primary consideration. 

I'm also open to grabbing lunch after if there is interest in that---but also fine without!

Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot

You can find the trailhead here: Cannon Mountain via Kinsman Ridge Trail (select "Get directions").

Again, I've never done this hike before, but the reviews suggest that there's a medium- to large-sized lot that's available at the trailhead---so I think planning to meet at the lot sounds like a good idea.

Sounds good, Frank! And Jamie, please feel free to bring your dog. I just reviewed the GO guidelines and it looks like they leave it up to trip leaders to decide on an ad hoc basis. I love dogs, so yeah please do.

I'm interested but I may do a loop and return via the Upper Ravine trail instead of an out-and-back.
