This is a beautiful place to hike. The wildlife (chipmunks ect) are all there too so just be careful about that. It is a hard hike up the park but it is soooooo worth it when you get to the top. Especially in the Fall when the leaves are all orange and red. Definitely worth the trip. Me and my... More

The basin and most things in the park are free for the use. Hiking abounds with the Franconia Ridge trail being the jewel. Forget the crowds if... More

I wasn't sure whether I wanted to spend the money on admission, since there are plenty of waterfalls you can hike to and see for free. However, we had hiked Mt. Jefferson earlier in the week and wanted something level. I also was leery of visiting a touristy location where people might be in the way of my photographs. All... More
