Long Hike Ocean Side

I was able to get Jack out of bed today to join Tom and I for a Multiple peak hike on the Ocean side.   We parked at the parking lot at the end of Otter Cliff Road.   This was just a short hike to the trail head for Gorham Mt.  I had been up to Gorham but had never done the trail from Gorham to Champlain.   The trip up to Champlain was great.   It had a least 4 false summits which made for an interesting pace as we all jockeyed for position to get to the top first.   Jack summited Gorham first,  I took Champlain with 2nd place hotly contested and then Tom narrowly beat out Jack on the back side of Beehive.
