hiking the franconia ridge

A couple of photographs I shot recently while hiking Franconia Ridge. Little did we know when we pulled into the parking lot and saw the heavy cloud cover that we'd end up hiking through the clouds and then hiking above the clouds!

I took this second photograph atop Lafayette, after we battled strong headwinds and crosswinds for a mile and a half. This stone wall provided much needed protection so that we could summon the energy needed for the hike back down. The icy conditions and unrelenting gusts of wind did little to assist our efforts!
