Franconia Ridge Traverse


Many consider this the best day hike in the Northeast: a counterclockwise loop from Franconia Notch that ascends Little Haystack and traverses the Franconia ridge over Mt. Lincoln and 5,260ft Mt. Lafayette. The above-treeline Franconia Ridge section of the hike is one of the most exciting stretches of trail in the White Mountains, with full-frontal views of the Notch and the Kinsmans on one side and untainted views dropping into the gulf of the Pemigewasset Wilderness on the other. Do this hike (and prepare to see "a few people" up there).
