Photos: Franconia Ridge Hike, White Mountains, NH 7/17/26
Incredible climb up Mt Lincoln and Mt Lafayette along Franconia Ridge in NH on 7/17. 8.6 mile loop that we banged out in just over 5 hours with 3,800ft of gain. We did not realize how intense those winds can be up there above the treeline, so it was a bit chilly with just my tie-dye tee, but we moved quickly and, honestly, it was super invigorating! I left in the sound from the clips so you can get an idea of the power of those winds.
Another thing: this was one of the most crowded hikes I have ever been on. I didn’t mind it too much, but wild to see so many people trekking along that high ridge. We got there early to make sure we got a parking spot. Overall an amazing day, and an amazing hike! Can’t wait to get back to the Whites...
Hope everyone is getting outside! Enjoy the pics! -TDG
