Review & FAQ:
North Kinsman is one of the two mountain peaks on Kinsman Mountain near the Franconia Ridge, a bit lower than the south peak but with much better eastern view of the ridge. The summit of North Kinsman looms high over Kinsman Pond and, from the ledge of the summit, the views of the pond down below are great. If you are coming up from the east, you will pass popular Lonesome Lake, another spot with beautiful views of the area and both Kinsman peaks. Hikers normally combine the two peaks in a day hike. Many of the trails to the North Peak Kinsman Mountain are rocky and even have to be scrambled in some parts. Some are pure rock and have almost no soil, so expect to have to use your hands to pull yourself up.
