This waterfall flows into a gorgeous, rocky-bottomed clear pool, great for soaking your tired feet. Due to its sunny southern exposure, this is one of the warmest pools at a waterfall in New Hampshire. Take not that you will need to cross some fallen trees in order to swim.
The waterfall fans out for the last 2 feet of this horsetail. it is in a wide-open area, although a large rock prevents you from seeing the whole falls at one time. The waterfall scoops down around the rock, only to plunge down over the rocky surfaces below. Overall, this is a nice destination away from the nearby crowds of Crawford Notch State Park.
And its part of the Mount Eisenhower Hike.
Mount Eisenhower (formerly Mount Pleasant) is a mountain in the Presidential Range in the White Mountains of New Hampshire that is approximately 4,780 ft. (1451 m) high and is named after President Eisenhower. Its summit offers a 360° view of New Hampshire's mountains. It is inaccessible by road.
The Appalachian Trail crosses the mountain near its summit, but separates from the Crawford Path at 4400 feet, 0.3 mi. (500 m) south of the summit, and rejoins it 0.3 mi. northeast of the summit, having made a net elevation gain of about 40 feet (15 m) and reached a maximum on Eisenhower of about 4520 feet (1380 m).
The shortest trail route to the summit of Eisenhower is from a parking lot on Mount Clinton Road, to its westnorthwest, via primarily the Edmands Path. Several routes are available from points more or less southwest of it on Route 302; the most used of these (probably roughly equal in popularity to the Edmands route) is via the Crawford Path, starting from a parking lot on Mount Clinton Road, very near 302 and just north of the Highland Center in the Crawford Notch area. Mount Monroe lies on the ridge northeast of Mt. Eisenhower, and Mount Pierce to the southwest. All three of these peaks are included on the peak-bagging list of four-thousand footers in New Hampshire. Mount Franklin, an "unofficial" peak (not prominent enough to be included in the list), lies between Mount Eisenhower and Mount Monroe
Theres overexposure on the falls, but I think it fits the photo. |
