Jola and I hiked up to Little Haystack via Falling Waters Trail (you can see on the map below), then over to Mt. Lincoln then over to Mt Lafayette and down Old Bridal Path from there. This was my most intense hike to date and my first mountain that was over 5000 feet, we estimate that we hiked up over 6300 feet in 24 hours between Lonesome Lake (the night before) and this hike. Mt. Lafayette is 5260 and, Lincoln is 5089'.

Mt Lafayette

The second to leftmost bump is Lafayette then Lincoln then Haystack (the leftmost bump is where the AMC hut is, it isn't as tall as it looks it just sticks out because of where we were)
