Carrigain

My vacation got off to a great start with a hike up Mt Carrigain. Thankfully, the approach road (Sawyer River) had been rebuilt after the Irene damage. This hike has been described as Adirondack-like as it is entirely in the forest (except for a section of Signal ridge) and the mountain itself is somewhat remote. Just 5 miles and 3200 feet of elevation gain up a steady slope of rocky trail. The tower on the summit gets you above the trees for a 360 view. It was fairly hazy and the other mountains are off in the distance but I was not complaining about the view!
