| Mount Lafayette is the monarch of the vast Franconia Region and second most prominent peak in both the White Mountains and New Hampshire. It anchors the second largest above-treeline area in the Whites, lying at the north end of the long, sharp, rocky crest of the Franconia Ridge. It's summit is a very popular hiking destination, and Interstate 93 runs right along the western base of the peak. |
