Franconia June

On a warm day in early June, I joined Aarathi and Shrirang for a traverse of Franconia Ridge from Lincoln Woods to Lafayette Place, summiting Flume, Liberty, Little Haystack, Lincoln, and Lafayette. 14.5 miles, 5325' of vertical gain, 10.5 hours, 258 photos (just a few here). A beautiful day!
