"This is a heavenly place to trek, picnic or just chill. The actual trail is a long one, around 7 ish hours but you could chose to hike a shorter distance and just soak in the beauty of nature! The stream / rivulet along the path is so breathtakingly beautiful, as if carved by nature itself. The step formations actually give it the appearance of a waterfall. The air is fresh to breathe, with the gradient ranging from gradual to steep at places. They have plenty of parking available. Restrooms are adjacent to the parking lots."
"This is one of the most beautiful hikes in New Hampshire. It’s a long and tiring 7 hour hike that needs at least some hiking knowledge and preparations. Make sure that the weather will be right as the views are incredible"
"We did the whole ridge loop and the view was fantastic along the ridge. The hike was difficult and took around 8 hrs, be sure to bring enough snacks and water. The parking lot at the trailhead was filled by 7:15, but there's a bigger one at exit 34c, which is 2 miles from the trailhead and there's a shuttle between the two locations, $5 per person."
"Definitely intermediate level hiking. My boyfriend and I climbed the Falling Waters Trail/Franconia Ridge Trail 3 mile path for our anniversary. It was absolutely beautiful and a work out. We are feeling it today, but it was totally worth it."
"Mt Lafayette and Franconia Ridge Trail Loop. I definitely recommend hiking up the Old Bridle Path and Greenleaf Trail to Mt Lafayette first and then descending on the Falling Water Trail. Falling Water Trail is much steeper and fairly strenuous. Descending the trail was a little tough so I can only imagine how hard it is to climb it up. Otherwise, great hike over 3 peaks and beautiful views. The Greenleaf Hut is a good spot to get a refill on water, eat lunch, and use the bathrooms. It’s a 1.1 mile push from the hut to the summit of Mt. Lafayette that includes a steady incline, but totally worth it when you reach the top. The ridge hike is amazing, definitely take your time up there because the views are incredible. The ridge hike is about 1.7 miles and you can come down on the Falling Waters Trail. Not going to lie, that trail sucks but there is a waterfall at the bottom so I guess that makes it worth it. Otherwise pretty strenuous, slippery rocks, and an overall bore."
