  • While the sun is shining and the sky is clear to the west, the summit of Lafayette is still in the clouds
  • By the time I reached the top, most of the summit clouds had burned off
  • Mt. Moosilauke, South & North Kinsman, and Cannon Mtn can be seen to the west
  • The old foundation of the summit hotel
  • Looking down the ridge to Mt. Lincoln with Mt. Liberty and Mt. Flume trying to hide
  • A cairn near the summit warms up in the sun.  Summit temperature was only in the 40s with a good breeze mixed in
  • Heading over North Lafayette on the way to Mt. Garfield
  • Looking out over most of my hiking route for today
  • The trail heading over to North Lafayette
  • The view down Franconia Ridge over everything I hiked yesterday
  • From this high up, the cliffs of Cannon Mtn are easy to see
  • Alpine plants find soil in the cracks between rocks
  • The western side of Franconia Notch State Park
  • The hut is already looking pretty small and far away
  • Before descending steeply off North Lafayette with Mt. Garfield in sight behind
  • A brief break in the steep descent passes through a nice green spot in the trees
  • Bog bridges over a damp muddy section
  • One of many inclines to go over in this stretch of trail
  • Some bog bridges near Garfield Pond
