Too Crowded, but still amazing.
Stayed at liberty spring tentsite before heading on the franconia ridge for this one. Climbed liberty and flume the day before. now that i've linked those two up, i think i would fill water at liberty spring and then stay in between liberty and little haystack. There are some great spots in there.

Failure via Lincoln's Throat
Long slog on Lincolns Throat - ski descent was fun. but a sketchy bushwhack at the top made me turn around.

4000 footer #5!
Climbed this along with Little Haystack (not a 4000 footer) and Lafayette as a training hike with a heavy pack. Beautiful weather on this summit day!

Cold but Beautiful!
Came up via Little Haystack from Falling Waters, left via Lafayette and the Old Bridle Path. Cold at the summits but the views were amazing.

Crystal clear skies
Pretty cold and windy at the top, but perfect vies in every direction. Stayed at the top for about 5 minutes before I couldn't feel my hands anymore and started back down.
Franconia Ridge from north to south via the Skookumchuck and Garfield Ridge Trails to the summit of Mt. Lafayette (5,260’). We will then follow the Franconia Ridge Trail over Mt. Lincoln (5,089’) to Little Haystack Mtn. (4,750’) before taking the Falling Waters Trail down to Lafayette Place.

Nice component of the Pemi Loop
I bagged this peak as part of a 1.5 day Pemi Loop trip where I bagged 10 4K summits in all (plus a few that didn't count). The weather was incredible, but the ridge line was bone dry and had I been smart I would have refilled my water at Liberty Spring because I was desperate by the time I was coming off Garfield. I didn't enjoy Lincoln or Lafayette as much because of the intense crowds. I like my summit solitude and there was none of that because of the day-hiking city dwellers who climb them and have a picnic/party on the summit... I am glad they are getting out into nature I just don't want to share my summits with 100 strangers. My favorites of them all were West Bond and Bond Cliff where solitude abounded and the stark beauty of the ledges around the summits made for great places to quietly sit and appreciate what God has made for us to experience if we just step out of our comfort zone a bit.

Mount Lincoln Climb
Did this mountain as part of the Franconia Ridge loop; an 8.9 mile trail over 6 summits, including Lafayette. Cold, icy, very windy, exhausting, but exhilarating with excellent views of the Pemigewasset Wilderness when the weather is clear.

Nice Peak
Peak #3 on my 5-day, 4-night traverse from Franconia Notch to Crawford Notch with my brothers. We hit the Franconia Ridge in great weather!

Nice viewsEarly start meant I actually got some solitude on this trail. Starting running into the crowds heading down Falling Waters trail though.
