For our Season 1 finally, We hiked a hike that has been on our bucket list for a long time. We hiked the Lincoln - Lafayette Loop in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This hike was outstanding!

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Lincoln with hopes to hike on one of the 2 morning we were there. We paid close attention to the Higher Summits Forecast from the Mount Washington Observatory.

Once we decided Saturday was our hiking day, we decided to go to the Common Man in Lincoln for a healthy but hearty pre-hike meal the night before.

This hike is very popular, especially in the fall when we did it. We arrived at the trailhead at 5:30am to get an early start and we are glad we did! There is a Hiker Shuttle from Cannon which we thought was really cool!

Besides miles of exposed ridgeline, this hike also has an awesome spot to take a break! The Greenleaf Hut is on the descent from Lafayette. The AMC does an amazing job keeping these places up!

This loop is the trail that has the most rescues in New Hampshire. Many ill prepared hikers end up needing rescued. This is a good reminder to renew your Hike Safe Card every January!

As we have done with every 4,000 footer we have done yet, we have enjoyed some of the best burgers in NH at BRGR Bar. Takeout on the couch was a perfect way to start our recovery.
