    Hiking

    At 5,249 feet Mount Lafayette is the highest peak in the Franconia Range. The summit is exposed so that you can enjoy a stunning view. Many hikers combine the nearby summits of Mount Lincoln and Little Haystack with Mount Lafayatte by hiking a loop starting at Old Bridle Path. The Appalachian Trail traverses the summit as well.
