“find this gem along Falling Waters trail”
Opposite Lafayette Campground in Franconia Notch. A favorite hike, 1.4 miles one way, that takes you to Walker Cascade, 20 ft. Stairs Falls, 60 ft. Swiftwater Falls and 80 ft. Cloudland Falls. "Falling Waters Trail Franconia - Notch State ParkDistance: 2.6 miles round trip Rating: IntermediateGreat hike viewing of 3 waterfalls- Stairs, Swiftwater & Cloudland. Start at Trailhead parking lot on the right on I-93 north between Exits 34A & 34B or park at the Lafayette Campground and cross under the Interstate. This is one of the most popular trails in the area. This trip goes only as far as the ledges, hanging on the edge of the deep ravine of Walker Brook. Going any further is for experts only. At .2 miles, Falling Water Trail goes to the right, Old Bridle Trail goes straight. This trail follows Dry Brook. You will pass 3 waterfalls: Stair Falls, Swiftwater Falls, and Cloudland Falls. Follow the trail to the top of the falls for a beautiful view. Good point to turn around, rest of the trail goes tothe very difficult Little Haystack." -http://www.franconianotch.org/things-to-do/great-outdoors/hiking.aspx
Hiked trail today during the rain. Trees assisted somewhat in not getting soaked. Was girlfriends first hike and it was good enough to feel rewarding but not too much to scare her off. Enjoyed the sites going and coming
