Noon: So this is why they call it the Falling Waters Trail!

Jon takes a shot of another cascade five minutes later.

Another cascade (Swiftwater Falls?).

Same cascade, better cropping.

View from the top of the same falls. Look closely and you can see two hikers resting on a log.

1:48 PM: detour to Shining Rock. You can see how it got its name in this shot.

Another shot of Shining Rock, trying to get a valley view through the haze

Shining Rock yet again. Going for a silhouette effect this time.

2:17 PM. View of Mt Lincoln from near the summit of Little Haystack.

2:21 PM. From Little Haystack, view southward showing Mts Liberty (on the right) and Flume.
2:22 PM. Lunch on the summit of Little Haystack
3:00 PM. Final ascent of Mt Lincoln
3:48 PM Chris takes a break in the alpine zone on Mt Lafayette.
4:10 PM Descent from Lafayette toward Greenleaf hut (on the right in the middle distance). Lonesome Lake and the gondola lodge on Cannon Mountain are both visible in the background.
View northwestward, showing Echo Lake and the ski slopes of Cannon.
4:21 PM View from the Greenleaf trail, showing Mt Lincoln and most of the ridge to Lafayette.
5:23 PM. View from Old Bridle Path of Mt Lincoln and the Franconia ridge; the summit of Lafayette is barely out-of-frame to the left.
