Hike up Falling Water Trail and down Old Bridle Trail.

Hit the Little Haystacks, Mount Lincoln and Mount Lafayette along the Franconia Ridge.

The trail up was somewhat wet and slippery in places but there were multiple waterfalls to see.

Once cresting the Alpine Zone the wind picked up and the temperatures dropped. It made for a nice hike since it was 85-90 degrees today.

We stopped at the Greenleaf Hut on the way out.

Overall trail was approximately 9miles with 3800 feet of accent. Great day to hike.
