Washington Valley is the place for those who love to watch the water fall. Choose from this collection of waterfalls, where, as the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce's logo reads, "anything is possible."
Sabbaday Falls: There are three drops in the falls, with pretty pools and a pothole formed by the swirling waters and sand. You can't swim, but it's a great picnic spot accessed by a 1/3-mile hike from Sabbaday Falls Picnic Area.
Glen Ellis Falls: The Ellis River plunges 64 feet to the basin below in a torrent of white water. Signs describe the geology and history of the area. It's a relatively easy 2/10-mile walk from Pinkham Notch.
Crystal Cascade: This two-tiered waterfall sports a dramatic 60-foot wall of water, followed by a 20-foot plunge, ending with a 90-degree turn in the river below. Park at the AMC Pinkham Notch Camp and hike 3/10-mile up the Tuckerman Trail.
Thompson Falls: This is a series of falls along Thompson Brook at Wildcat Ski Area. Views to Mount Washington from the highest ledge are worth the trip. To reach the falls, take the "Way of Wildcat" Nature Trail from Wildcat's base.
Arethusa Falls: Measuring 176 feet, these are New Hampshire's highest single falls. Bemis Brook Falls, Fawn Pool and Coliseum Falls can be visited at the same time. The trail starts at Crawford Notch State Park and it's 1.3 miles to the falls.
Flume Cascade & Silver Cascade: These falls are easily viewable from the car on Route 302, just below Crawford Notch Depot. Get out and sit on the rocks alongside for a closer look.
