点评:We went as a group of friends in the middle of winter and had a great experience, but this hike is definitely not for beginners.
At the summit, it was extremely windy and very cold when we went, which is to be expected at that altitude. You need to be well prepared for those conditions.
We covered about 15 km (≈ 9.3 miles) with an elevation gain of around 1300 m, making it a solid and demanding hike.
Our itinerary was a loop combining four trails: we started on Falling Waters Trail up to Mount Little Haystack, then continued on Franconia Ridge Trail to Mount Lincoln and Mount Lafayette. We then took Greenleaf Trail down to the Greenleaf Hut, and finished via Old Bridle Path back to the parking lot.
If you’re experienced and properly equipped, it’s an amazing challenge with rewarding views.
翻译:我们一行朋友在隆冬时节前往,体验非常棒,但这条徒步路线绝对不适合新手。
我们登顶时,风极大,气温极低,这在高海拔地区也是意料之中的。你需要做好充分的准备来应对这种天气。
我们走了大约15公里(约9.3英里),海拔上升约1300米,这是一次颇具挑战性的徒步之旅。
我们的路线是一个环线,由四条步道组成:我们先沿着瀑布步道 (Falling Waters Trail) 攀登至小干草堆山 (Mount Little Haystack),然后沿着弗兰科尼亚山脊步道 (Franconia Ridge Trail) 前往林肯山 (Mount Lincoln) 和拉斐特山 (Mount Lafayette)。之后,我们沿着绿叶步道 (Greenleaf Trail) 下山至绿叶小屋 (Greenleaf Hut),最后沿着老马道 (Old Bridle Path) 返回停车场。
如果你经验丰富且装备齐全,这将是一次绝佳的挑战,沿途的风景令人叹为观止。
