Mount Carrigain Hike
<p>Time to Celebrate - My Final NH 4000-Footer!</p>
Details
Join me for a fall hike up the distinctively-humped Mount Carrigain (4700') via the Signal Ridge.  Despite the 3300-foot elevation gain this trail mostly follows the old access route to the summit fire tower and its grades are relatively moderate.  There are great panoramic views from the summit and tower...in fact on a good day 43 other 4000-footers in the Whites can be seen from it's peak.  We'll meet at 8:30 AM at the parking area on Sawyer River Road (2 miles in from Route 302, which is west of Bartlett, NH) for this 10-miles hike.  Be prepared for chilly temperatures on the summit.  Also bring along/wear good hiking boots with thick socks, lunch, snacks and plenty of water.  If there's interest we'll cap off the hike with dinner at a local restaurant.
