For this hike I decided I would do something different. I parked my car at the Lincoln Woods Trailhead and took a taxi/shuttle up to the Cannon Mountain Tramway parking lot. I would hike from here going over the entire Franconia Range going over Mt. Lafayette (5,260ft), Mt. Lincoln (5,089ft), Mt. Liberty (4,459ft), and Mt. Flume (4,328ft) and finish back where I parked.
This hike was approximately 12.5 miles in length and had an overall elevation gain of 4,552 ft. I did this hike on 10-9-12 which ended up being cloudy, cold, and also windy to start. At the Greenleaf Hut it was 32 degrees with winds about 20-25mph gusting to 40mph. At the last summit for the day, it was 40 degrees and calm.
