FRANCONIA — On Friday, at 9:45 p.m., conservation officers with New Hampshire Fish and Game were made aware of two hikers who had lost the trail as they descended from the summit of Mount Lafayette on the Greenleaf Trail.

One hiker had injured himself in a fall and claimed he could not continue due to a lower-leg injury. The two were above tree lineand were exposed to heavy winds, temperatures around 10 degrees and waist-deep snow.
