Looking east (trail north) on the beginning of the northbound descent from North Lafayette.  The trail follows the obvious ridge in the picture, going over Mt. Garfield (the prominent peak in the center of the picture) and eventually climbing to South Twin, the peak on the far right in the distance. The day was warm and hazy which cut down on the views.

Mt. Lafayette and one of the Eagle Lakes from Greenleaf Hut. This picture was not taken from the AT,  but it shows the route of the trail.  From the summit of Lafayette, the northbound Trail (called the Garfield Ridge Trail) descends along the crest of the ridge, over the North Lafayette knob, then down the east side of the mountain. The southbound trail goes right from the summit and continues along Franconia Ridge.  This section is called not surprisingly the Franconia Ridge Trail.  Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu
