Full discloure: I have never done this hike! I've only done a couple of the 4k footers, so I'm putting this activity out there because I'd really like to add another one to the list.
The link to the hike is here: Cannon Mountain via Kinsman Ridge Trail. It's ~4 miles and there's 2,263 ft elev. gain.
I put 8:30am for a meetup time, but I am definitely flexible on that---I just have a ~2.5 hour drive to the trailhead, so that's my primary consideration.
I'm also open to grabbing lunch after if there is interest in that---but also fine without!
You can find the trailhead here: Cannon Mountain via Kinsman Ridge Trail (select "Get directions").
Again, I've never done this hike before, but the reviews suggest that there's a medium- to large-sized lot that's available at the trailhead---so I think planning to meet at the lot sounds like a good idea.

Looking forward to joining tomorrow, I will have my dog with me as well. Thank you!
Thanks for the update and leading this trip. See you all in the morning!
Hey guys, looking forward to tomorrow. It looks like this hike, on average, takes ~3-4 hours to complete. Of course, we can take as long as we need. Also, according to AllTrails—the temperature should be ~40 when we start and ~60 at the average completion time. Finally, it turns out there’s a cafe at the summit—so we can definitely stop there for food if people want before heading back. See y’all tomorrow.
Sounds good, Frank! And Jamie, please feel free to bring your dog. I just reviewed the GO guidelines and it looks like they leave it up to trip leaders to decide on an ad hoc basis. I love dogs, so yeah please do.
I'm interested but I may do a loop and return via the Upper Ravine trail instead of an out-and-back.
