This is a best of hike. Up the falling waters trail to Haystack and along the ridge to Lincoln and Lafayette. Falling waters trail has many nice waterfalls and then a steep up to Haystack. The ridge is interesting with some views of slides and some drop offs and of course views of the 3 peaks. Also some nice views of Cannon mountain and number of others.
This day started clear and it stayed nice until just after Lincoln. Then the clouds moved in fast! All of a sudden I was in the clouds and Lafayette had no views. Lafayette did have snow! First snow of the year. Nothing sticking and it was somewhat above freezing at the top but snow.
Counter clockwise is the way to do this loop since the Bridle Path isn't as steep and is a good way to get down. Hike is about 9 miles.
