I added a link to a Web-based gallery of paintings of Mount Lafayette done by artists who painted in New Hampshire during the 19th century. JJ 23:13, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] mountain box

I edited the name of the range to "Franconia Range", since that is used on all USGS and AMC maps & references I've seen where the range is named (eg, in the AMC White Mountain Guide) (though USGS GNIS, for example, lists "Franconia Ridge" but not "Franconia Range"). The article previously called it "Lafayette Range", which is a new one to me. Does anybody have a source that supports that name?

The AMC White Mountain Guide is strong support for any names in the White Mountains. I have 35+ years experience in the area, and I've never heard it called the "Lafayette Range." It is the Franconia Range, and the valley between the Franconia Range and Cannon Mountain is called Franconia Notch. So, I strongly support this change. JJ 18:53, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
