Route Climbed: Old Bridle Path - Falling Waters loop Date Climbed: many
This is a good hike for mixed-fitness groups: beginners will be happy to clear treeline on Little Haystack, those with stronger legs can enjoy the loop over Lincoln and lafayette.
Route Climbed: Falling Water Trail Date Climbed: March 12, 2004
First summit was Little Haystack, then crossed over and summited Mount Lincoln and then Mount Lafayette and then headed down along the Old Bridle Path. We climbed it in a snow storm with winds up to 90 MPH (actually I don't know what the wind speed was-but it was incredible).
Route Climbed: via Franconia Ridge Traverse/descent Falling Waters Trail Date Climbed: September 23, 2002
Came over on the "knife edge" from Lincoln. Had a nice snack at the summit and then headed down the Falling Waters Trail and enjoyed the views of the waterfalls on the way down.
Route Climbed: All (?) Date Climbed: Many (1991-1998)
I think this was my first mountain ever. When I was 16, a friend and I practically ran up the Falling Waters trail to the summit. Since then, I've climbed it many times.

The side trip to Shining Rock is worth it.
