Lincoln, Lafayette - September 21, 2021

 Ginger, Tracy, and Dick hiked up the Falling Waters trail (aptly named) to the top of Little Haystack. Below are  Ginger and Tracy at one of several scenic waterfalls along the way.


We passed Sandy high up on the mountain, also doing the loop with friends. A short way below the top, Doug and Pam having started later, passed us. Below are the group atop Little Haystack, with Mt Lincoln behind us, further up the Franconia Ridge.

The weather was perfect for this hike - totally clear, with spectacular views in all directions. The trail is above tree line for over two miles. Below is the view eastward from atop Lafayette, looking over the Pemigewasset Wilderness, not seen from any roadway. Seen in the foreground is the long hump of Owls Head,  over 1,000 feet lower and which we did last week. Beyond that and a bit to the left are the Bonds, and further out and back a bit toward the right is Carrigain.
