Looking down the Kinsman Ridge Trail on the way to the Northeast Cannonball Route: Lonesome Lake Trail, Kinsman Ridge Trail, (Northeast Cannon Ball), Kinsman Ridge Trail, Lonesome Lake Trail Curious to see if the snowpack had improved the views on Northeast Cannonball, I opted to head up to the Kinsman Ridge. While there was virtually no snow left in Franconia Notch, the Lonesome Lake Trail still had on-trail snow, though of the monorail variety. Reaching the lake, I could see some blue sky - a welcome sight after watching the skies cloud over a few hours earlier. Reaching the summit of Northeast Cannonball, the snow was too compromised for me to stand on top (thus sinking a foot or two), reducing my chance at stellar views. Nonetheless, the views were stronger than normal. Continuing over to the waterbar view, I could see well into the southern part of the state. For the descent, I did some trail work, reaching the lake just before sunset. Sure enough, I had some slight colors while watching the display from the shore.
