7/31 Day 132: Ontop of Little Haystack. We hiked Franconia Ridge on 7/30 with the fam & B's in the fog a4d then again 7/31 in this beautiful weather! Once we got to Mt Lafayette I realized I left our tripod on Little Haystack, 2 mi south. So I did a 4 mi trail run to get it and traversed Franconia Ridge 4 times in 2 days. In my opinion it was the best part of the trail to do over again!
