This hike takes you to the peak of Mount Liberty along the Franconia Ridge. It is beautiful in any season. This time I went in November. If you go this time of year or anytime in the winter, be prepared with foot traction or snowshoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk along the Whitehouse trail on level ground for a while, then take a right over the Pemigewasset River and on up Liberty Spring Trail to the ridge. From there take a right and go south for a short stretch to reach the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a pretty trek up the steep slope through the conifers. Once things open up on the ridge, you can look north toward Mount Lincoln and west to the Notch. The Presidential Range can be spotted to the east. If you want you can extend the hike north toward Mount Lincoln or south toward Mount Flume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole out and back hike takes about 8 miles. It is easily accessible via the highway going through Franconia Notch in Lincoln, New Hampshire. As long as it\u2019s not completely in the clouds, there are stunning views from Franconia Ridge any time of year. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
