Re: Franconia - 13 Falls Trail Conditions
You could probably find something outside the 1/4-mile zone around 13 Falls being in a river valley, but there are no options anywhere near Guyot. It's part of why it is always so mobbed there (that and the nearby Bonds are spectacular). There's no water on that ridge for miles (the AMC huts - Zealand and Galehead - are basically the only other reliable water sources on that part of the ridge), and pretty dense and/or steep woods (tough to find a spot to pitch).
