"Hiked along with North Tripyramid. We decided on taking the Pine Bend Brook Tr as an out-and-back. Turned out to be a great plan as Sabbaday was closed for safety/maintenance, and everyone we know who had taken the Livermore Tr/Tripyramid loop had only talked about how taxing it had been and wished us luck. We had clear skies and mid seventies. It was a little muggy and buggy, but perfect on the breezy sections of trail. We saw some very healthy lady slippers growing along the lower two miles of trail (a pleasant and easy start and end to the hike), and multiple toads and butterflies. The view" - Middle Tripyramid, gooner, Jun 22, 2018

"We camped out at Lafayette place and received 3" of rain that night. The next morning we went up Old Bridal path to the summit of Lafayette and continued on the Franconia ridge to Lincoln and Little Haystack then down Falling Waters trail to get back to the campground. The trails were wet and the water crossings tricky due to the rains the night before. The summits were in the clouds while we made our way up to Lafayette but cleared by the time we reached the summits." - Mount Lafayette, k2rider123, Jun 19, 2018

"Hit the trailhead about 8 a.m. Still some parking in the lot. Quick going up Mount Major Traill (blue) to the Brook Trail (yellow). The North Straightback link (green) was narrow and far less travelled. The climb was pretty steep and there is one place just below the summit of North Straightback that I had to use hands to climb up the rock. This slab also had a nice view so enjoy it because there is only a sign and cairn at the N. Straightback summit, no views. After a short rest, I followed the Dave Robert's Quarry Trail (white) to the South peak of Straightback, There were a couple of" - Straightback Mountain, rjnick, Jun 16, 2018
