 | Comments: |
Decided to try a different circuit to and from Mt Lafayette which would have less traffic for most of the hike than the popular Old Bridle Path / Falling Waters loop. Walk on the Franconia Notch Recreation Path (aka Bike Path)passed by Echo Lake where I saw a blue heron and passed through nice autumn foliage.
On top of Mt Lafayette Heather and her family celebrated her completion of the 48 NH 4Ks. |
