Mountain Overview

Mount Lincoln is a 5,089-foot (1,551 m) mountain in the Franconia Range of the White Mountains. It is situated just south of Mount Lafayette, and the two peaks are often hiked together via Franconia Ridge. Mount Lincoln is the eighth-highest 4,000-footer in New Hampshire. The summit is above treeline, providing panoramic views of the Franconia Notch region and beyond. Mount Lincoln is a major summit on Franconia Ridge, just south of Mount Lafayette. The mountain is named for President Abraham Lincoln, a name likely bestowed in the mid-19th century after Lincoln’s presidency (replacing older local terms for the peak). In fact, Lincoln, Lafayette, and their neighboring summits were once collectively referred to as the “Haystack Mountains” by settlers. Only later did individual names take hold, reflecting national historical figures. Mount Lincoln’s rocky cone is above treeline, providing panoramic views of the Franconia Notch region and beyond. The dramatic ridge trail between Lincoln and Lafayette has been drawing hikers since the 1800s – it was traveled by early AMC explorers who built the Franconia Ridge Trail. Today, Mount Lincoln is often hiked together with Lafayette and Little Haystack as part of the classic loop, allowing hikers to experience the same breathtaking vistas that have been written about since the days of poets like Thoreau.
