Mt. Cannon June 28, 2004

Our new camera has arrived and so we are back to doing scenic climbs. Yesterday's climb was to Mt. Cannon, which has spectacular views of Franconia Ridge. You know you are hooked on climbing when you climb Cannon since there is a tram that goes up to the peak.

Slowed by the difficult climb by the ledge and ladder section of the hike (see photos) and by threatening weather (you do not want to be at high altitude when a storm come through) we decided to take the tram down and then hike back to our car which was two miles further down in Franconia Notch.

Distance 5.9 miles. Climb 2350 ft. Elevation 4100 ft.
