When we got to the next trail juncture, we only had 0.4 miles left of mild terrain before getting to the summit of Cannon. At the top of the peak, we climbed up the wooden tower, caught sight of some skiers and snowboarders at the top of the Cannon chairlift, and took in the view of Franconia ridge socked in the clouds. The wind was whipping at 40+ miles per hour so we quickly put on more layers, snapped some pictures, and climbed down to eat lunch on a bench shielded by the trees. During our entire ascent, we only saw three other hikers and spent most of the time walking silently, one of the reasons we love winter hiking.
