Lafayette, Lincoln, and Liberty are three of the most challenging, yet popular hiking destinations in New Hampshire. This is because it is unique is the sense that you are pretty much above tree level the whole time. Many photo contests have been won from the beautiful scenery and views you get from the top of the peaks. My friend Tucker and I started are hike at 11 in the morning. Originally, we were supposed to bag Flume peak also, but we missed the trail for that and continued on. The first peak we got to was Liberty. After a short lunch break we continued on to Lincoln. It was a pain to go from peak to peak because it went very steeply downhill, then very steep uphill. There were hundreds and hundreds of hikers on the top of Lincoln, and even more on the top of Lafayette. I swear Tucker and I were the fastest hikers on the whole mountain because we passed everyone. It was amazing to see Cannon Mountain, the mountain I ski at all winter, from up so high. It’s a shame that the Old Man isn’t there anymore. Finally we began the long journey down Lafayette a finished around 4 in the afternoon. It was a very long but fun day!
