The Franconia Ridge Segment. Mt Lafayette looms large behind our subject.
The Garfield Ridge Segment. This is a unique view of the normally pointed-looking Mt Garfield summit and its concrete “playpen.”
The Twin Way Segment. One of the more remote parts to be sure. Gorgeous.
The Bonds Segment. This wideangle view takes in the famed “cliff of Bondcliff (right) and points south and west. Stunning!
The Lincoln Woods Segment. No summits here, just a means to an end (and a beginning). This bridge is a happy sight.
