Parks & Nature
A great hike that can be as easy or hard as you want it to be. From Lafayette campground, a young family can hike the 1.5 (very uphill) miles to Lonesome Lake-- a beautiful ridge-top pond with a staffed hut. More ambitious hikers can visit the peaks of Cannon or Kinsman Mountains. Hikes can range from 3 miles to 15, and can take between 3 to 10 hours.

An easily accessible, although reasonably strenuous hike will take you up the old bridal path to the Greenleaf Hut (open seasonally) and on to the rocky summit with panoramic views of the White Mountains. If you're feeling up for it, continue along the Franconia Ridge Trail and peak-bag Little Haystack & Mt. Lincoln as well. This hike is 8 to 9 miles, and should take 5 to 8 hours. Weather changes quickly, and you may not be able to find shelter once above tree-
line.

The highest point in the northeast (and home of the world's worst weather). The Ammonoosuc & Jewel Trails offer the easiest approach, but plan on a strenuous, all-day hike, with variable weather (ie, windy and cold-- year round).Intrepid explorers will be rewarded with a great hike with unparalleled views. Less intrepid explorers can take the Cog Railroad or Auto-Road to the top ;)
