Comment: I went to college in NH 30+ years ago, and hiked most of the peaks in the White Mountains. Went back this summer for reunion and couldn't resist a day touring the Whites on my bike, which I'd ridden up from Baltimore. Riding the Kanc was certainly a highlight of that day. The only thing that makes me rate it a bit lower than the route and view would warrant is the misfortune of getting stuck behind cagers towing trailers. Pulled off at a couple of overlooks to get out from behind and saved the day. Pretty hard to go wrong on any of the routes up there, but certainly the Kanc is not to be missed. Enjoy.
