nice
Very nice. I am planning on hiking it on August
At 8:23, hope you secured that strap :p
How long did it take?
it took me a little over 6 hours from start to finish
Thank you for giving us at 5:22 of what its like to be inside the fire tower. I went up to the summit many years ago as a teenager and wondered if that tower is ever used.
Nice video. What type of foot ware and crampon are you using? They looked like a nice day to hike the ridge. Thanks
I was wearing Salomon gore-tex hiking boots with Grivel crampons
@@gthechemist Thanks, I have done a lot of hiking in New England. The Long Trail and all the 4,000 in the Whites and now that I am retired looking to doing more winter hiking. I did the Pemi loop in 2021. Take care
@@gthechemist Toundra Pros?
Thank you for video. I was lost recently. Week before Emily. I went down Garfield trail got late no light fell down called 911 ranger talked me to road. Franconia police picked me up. Drove me over 10 miles to car. Thank you NH athouraties. My heart is broken for Emily and her family. M McGloin
Awesome. This trail scared me years ago in September. It definitely would during winter.
Awesome. Would like to do the same tail in the same conditions. Thank you.
Reminds me of a November hike of the same loop over twenty years ago; there was much less snow accumulation, but the wind was similar (or worse, we each got knocked down once or twice on the Ridge), and the clouds were lower; we were in them from Haystack over Lincoln to Lafayette. I happened to be in the lead between Lincoln and Haystack, and was concerned that I would miss the turn at the summit, and end up at Garfield rather than at the Greenleaf Hut. I lucked out, and actually stumbled into the signpost physically, and knew to turn left/west. Only 150-200 feet later, and maybe 40 feet of elevation drop, we emerged from the clouds, and it was clear all the way down, and calm beyond the hut. But it was wild on the ridge, and white-out the entire way. Thanks for sharing your experience; it brought memories that are both fond and a little hairy. Be safe and healthy.
Great story! Thanks for sharing
I hiked up Lafayette in winter and, similar to your experience, the wind died down substantially once I got past the Greenleaf Hut and below tree line.
Is stupid, alone especially. One slip can injure anle, etc & make death a possibility. Then other people have to risk their lives for your recovery.
You better just stay home then where your safe, do you expect a partner carry you down if you twist an ankle? Maybe my girlfriend would put me on her shoulders? 😅
As an older person, retired your mindset would essentially end all of my adventures. I hiked the Long Trail in Vermont this past October with my hound mix Maggie. All of the 4,000 footers in the Whites and mountain bikes thousands of miles mostly alone. As you age out you don’t have anyone to do this adventures with. Next year it’s going to be almost 500 miles on the Colorado Trail, alone. I have never needed aid but have helped multiple people over the years. I helped two young women get off the same ridge last year. I found them both very cold underdressed and crying. They were very surprised to find some old man super fit who likes to night hike and very well prepared. I also helped to carry out a backcountry skier with a compound fractured leg once too. I would certainly be willing to help out a fellow hiker in need. It’s what we do.
This is where Emily Sotelo died. Franconia Ridge is the 2nd highest terrain in NH, and being about 20 miles west of Mt Washington and the worst weather in the world means the wind that causes that weather hits Franconia first. Make sure you have appropriate gear and the knowledge to use it.
Your Awesome Son
Picked a good day for it.
Nice trail folks, weather looks stunning.🔥👌
Beautiful! Still need to get over a hike Monadnock at some point.
Nice views from that fire tower. I think my fear of heights would kick in. 😬
Fantastic video man, nicely edited.👌👌
Love the video. Really good work on this. It's great motivation for me to keep uploading content on my channel. I can't wait to see the next video
Amazing day man!
This is a beautiful video, fantastically captured surroundings.
Looks like some spring conditions on this one. 👍🏼
going up Falling Waters Trail, were there ways to avoid breaking thru if you suspected the snow wasn't packed enough? I guess you'd have to step way off the trail...into the trees somewhat?
I'm gonna hike this tomorrow whats the exact trailhead and trail did you take ?
use "Old Bridle Path Trailhead" for the gps to get to the trailhead. On the trail, when you get to the bridge go over it. the loop ends at the bridge so when you go down you will go past that same bridge to make the full loop. weather was terrible along the peak on the 26th and I was unable to the do the full loop so keep an eye out for weather.
@@P_Petkov so did you park at Lafayette campground then take. Falling rivers trail to the f ridge trail to pass Lincoln then Lafayette to greentree to bridle........I guess I mean where did you park to reach trailhead .....im looking at the amc book and map and it appears you'd park at the Lafayette campground
@@aggiehort07 I park right on the other side of the campground parking lot right at the start of the trailhead.
What the exact trailhead you parked at and whats trail did you take
This is the all trails of the course I did www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-hampshire/mount-lafayette-and-franconia-ridge-trail-loop?search=true
Oh man, those leaves are looking nice. 👌

Cool. I'm hiking the Presidential Traverse mid July, then taking a rest day. Then I was planning on hiking to the plane crash. Is a four wheel drive needed to reach the trailhead? Thanks.
Four wheel drive is not necessary, some parts get uneven and bumpy
You'll need ground clearance though, Success Pond road is really bad right now, just hiked Success and Carlo and used the bikes to car spot
Hey!
Hey!
Great video! It looked like one of your buddies had a booklet in the plane...geocache?
yes, the booklet is a log for people to write that they were there and at what date
what did you use to record this video?
I used a GoPro Hero 7 Black
Nice video!! Thanks for posting!! 💥👈😙👉💥
Cool vid guys
thank you
Dude where is my invite!!!
i will hyu
Nice video!
Thank you!
@@gthechemist you're welcome! We really enjoy making outdoor content also
@@NickandRachel I like your cooking videos
What beautiful views! Thank you for taking us along! We are going to attempt the hike in a couple weeks so it was good to see it from your perspective! How was the hike up? Anything we should know before we go? How far from the summit was the plane crash site? We are older so that's why we are asking! Excellent video! :)
Thank you for the comment! The hike up was not to bad, the initial climb was a little steep but after that it was more gradual. From the summit it was about 0.4 miles to the crash site. I would definitely suggest good navigation and looking at the alltrails for this since you have to go off the trail to get to the crash site. Have a good hike!
Going on sunday so just searching in the youtube.
Amazing views from up there!
How long did it take you to do south moat trail? The 5 mile one. Not the north cause I’ll pass out haha. Looking to go there tmw with the dog. Thanks
Are the trails Labeled so I don’t get lost haha
Hi sorry for the late response, it took us about 1 hour 15 min to climb to the south moat
yes the trails are pretty well marked but i always suggest having a map
Love the view. I’ll do it someday with a hotpot.
yes you should carry everything needed for a hotpot up the mountain
0:28 wtf
When is the collab happening tho
I hiked that mountain today had to go back down at haystack because it was really windy with all ice!
So beautiful there! Thanks for sharing
The view on the summit is so cool. like in the space!
Great video! I’m considering hiking the ridge in April. Should I expect the conditions to be similar?
The conditions will be similar with less ice and snow. In spring time you can expect the rivers water level to be higher and the flow of water to be faster due to the snow melt. Also the snow pack might be softer so you might post hole in some spots if the trail is not packed down by frequent hikers.
Winter stays long in the Whites, I’d bring the same gear you’d pack for a January hike.
April will still have snow. It’ll be even more slippery with snow melting and freezing over again. Micro spikes or crampons. Hiking sticks will do you wonders on the route off the mountain. I’ve done this in April.
The king is back!
Look so beautiful but I think I'd be frozen lol
