Expect BIG crowds and extended travel times as roads back up with heavy traffic. Get to Artists Bluff early, parking fills as that is a shuttle lot for other park destinations. Plan and know an alternate route out of Franconia Notch as the Parkway (I-93) can become a parking lot in the afternoon.
Have fun, read today's Boston Globe for info on being prepared for hiking. Fall is no joke, bring layers, food, etc even on a simple hike like Artists Bluff.
