+ About this map
Mount Lafayette rises 5,260 feet above Franconia Notch in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, the highest summit of the Franconia Range and the high point of one of the most celebrated ridge walks in the East. The loop over Lafayette, Mount Lincoln, and Little Haystack runs for well over a mile above treeline, an open alpine crest named for the French general who fought in the American Revolution.
This map shows why the ridge feels the way it does. The contour lines fall away steeply on the western side, where the mountain drops more than 3,000 feet into Franconia Notch, and the crest itself appears as a thin, continuous line of tight curves running south toward Lincoln and Little Haystack. On the gentler eastern slopes, the lines open into the drainages of the Pemigewasset Wilderness, one of the largest roadless areas in the Northeast.
