| RhythmicMom | Training hike for son's West Coast trail trip  Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2008 | |
| This hike was organized by one of my friends as a day trip from Boston. I decided to join along with my son, with his backpack full of all his gear in preparation for a week-long hiking trip he was going to take in August of same year with his dad. The weather was good, though at the top it was windy and cloudy. I ended up carrying the pack half the way - fun! We had a chance to test his new stove and taste a couple of the dry-freeze meals - we loved both that we tested! Awesome views from the ridge, and some really nice photos! | |

| Beautifil views from the summit and then the ridge. Mount Washington on the horizon. Must be one of the better views in the North-Eastern US. | |

| friday | Blue skies, cold and windy... a.k.a Perfect! Date Climbed: Mar 19, 2011 | |
| Blue skies, windy, and cold. Perfect for the last official full day of winter. This was the last mountain summit reached after a counter-clockwise hike of the ridge loop. Had to use wind goggles and crampons for the ridge itself. A bit icy in some spots. | |

| AlexeyD | yet another Franconia loop Date Climbed: Jan 23, 2011 | |
| Managed to finish Franconia Ridge before the arrival of a strong Arctic front. Temperature went down to about -10F during this time, with moderate (30 mph) winds, but it did not feel extraordinarily severe - more like your typical above-treeline winter day in Whites. Did not even wear goggles on the ridge, and no traction required. Total time about 6.5 hours which is quite average. Descending Falling Waters Trail was glorious - the lower section near the river was a true winter wonderland. All in all a great winter outing - and very timely as temps dropped to 30 below on the summits just a few hours later. | |

| Backpacked over a bunch of peaks on AT. Liberty was clear, but we were in blowing rain until we hit the hut by Guyot. | |

| LDuszer | some of the best views in the region Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2007 | |
| Climbed it last in '07 from the Falling Waters Trail in conjunction with Lincoln, one of several times that I've done it. The views from the top have always been amazing, but it was crowded during Labor Day Weekend. | |

| WhiteInVermont | Late Winter | |
| Did this hike in late winter. It was a great day hiking up until we reached tree line and the clouds and snow moved in. I was with a friend who was more experienced climber at the time we camped right on the summit. This was a bad choice, it snowed hard and the wind was howling all night. By far the coldest night I have ever experienced. We hiked out in the morning and again below tree line the weather was beautiful. I want to return because I've heard the view is amazing from there. | |

| Weather wasn't cooperating as we'd hoped so the summit was completely fogged in. Still a fun 17 mile walk nonetheless. | |

| GhostHiker | Perfect Views Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2009 | |
| Hiked up the old bridle path. Trail very clean and well kept. Beautiful views starting at halfway up. Hiked to Greenleaf Hut, then to summit. There was no one else on the summit since we were there later in the day. Clear views, and very light winds. Since we wanted to get back down before dark, we went down old bridle path again. | ||
