Story:
A day-hike to the summit of the highest mountain in the Franconia Range - Mt. Lafayette. This hike also allowed me to summit Mt. Lincoln and Haystack Mountain.

Tips:
This hike takes 8-10 hours, depending on how many times you stop for pictures along a very picturesque trail. The Appalachian Mountain Club hut on Eagle Lake can be used for shelter should weather deteriorate.

This hike occurs on part of the Appalachian Trail (the Franconia Ridge Trail).
