Trekking to Greenleaf Hut [Gallery Extra]

“I wish I could get a quarter every time someone asks me what my favorite hike in New Hampshire is. After writing five hiking guidebooks, including two on New Hampshire, it comes with the territory. It’s a question I don’t need to ponder. Of the 1,200 miles of footpaths winding through the White Mountains, my hands-down favorite is the Franconia Ridge Loop—up the Old Bridle Path, across Franconia Ridge on the Franconia Ridge Trail/Appalachian Trail (AT), over Mounts Lafayette, Lincoln, and Little Haystack, and then down the Falling Waters Trail.”
