I'm planning on doing this two-night hike with my son (13-yo) this summer:
Day 1 - bridle path to greenleaf (drop packs); lincoln/lafayette and back (he wants to go all the way to liberty, but I think that's too ambitious for day 1)
Day 2 - hike to galehead (drop packs); twins and back
Day 3 - hike out via hale brook trail

My son put the itinerary together to try and snag as many new 4Ks as he can (he's already done the franconia ridge ones as well as the bonds and tom/willey/field). Anything worrisome here or worth tweaking? We'd stash a car at the hale brook trailhead; it looks like there's overnight parking available there? Day 3 looks like it'll be the toughest as we'll have packs the full way, but he's a strong hiker and should be up to it. Anything else to be considering?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

We stayed at the lodge earlier this week and had a before 9am permit, so were able to hike up before the shuttles were running. Incredible experience to be up there almost entirely on our own. Absolutely the way to do it if you're able to.
