It had been on my list to hike the Franconia Ridge for years, and it did not disappoint when I finally made a point to go! There are five peaks total, however, we only did 3 - up Mt. Lincoln, across to Little Haystack, and then Mt. Lafayette with a stop at Greenleaf Hut for our descent. Lafayette, the highest peak on this trail, is over 5,000ft. It was overcast on an August day during our trip, but had no effect on enjoyment. Incredible views all around; half expecting to see a ranger, bearded dwarf, and elven archer chasing a horde of orcs (please catch my Lord of the Rings reference).
