TERRIFIC day in Franconia Notch. Started out making fresh tracks at Cannon for the first couple hours, then drove down the street to do Mt Lafayette. Calm and beautiful. Eagle Pass is always special. Fun to see so many familiar faces on Lafayette but we pretty much had the Greenleaf Trail to ourselves. Glad to have traction from the hut to the summit as the loose snow was quite "sandy" feeling and difficult to get traction without. Didn't stay long at summit as it was quite brisk. FUN!!! Thanks Amy!!! Fun day!!!! |
