Appalachia Waterfalls, Gorham, NH

Monday, May 13, 2019. Its that time of the year - I grabbed Wendy today and we went to look at New Hampshire Waterfalls! (specifically, a series of waterfalls just west of Gorham, NH in an area called Appalachia:


We checked, and there were no places open for lunch in Jackson, so we got to North Conway and had a nice lunch at the bar at the Sea Dog Brewing Company (I always have had good luck with "Brewing Companies" and "Breweries" - the atmosphere is always laid-back, and the cheeseburgers and sandwiches are always good.) We got to the Trailhead at 2 PM:


Contrast 2 maps:



But I prefer looking up from the parking area, and seeing our 2.9 miles hike along the mountain-side:

(From MapMyWalk into Google Earth)

It was fun following Wendy through the woods:

and seeing her at the top of Gordon Fall at 2:20:

looking downstream:


We continued up the path alongside Snyder Brook:


To Lower Salroc Fall:



and Upper Salroc Fall:



About a mile from our start was our final stop up Snyder Brook was Tama Fall:


We then headed 1/2 mile down Valley Way, then west 2/3 mile through the woods, on Sylvan Way, to get to Cold Brook Fall:


looking downstream:


What a fun day!


A nice 3/4 mile flat hike back to the car, then headed home - Thank You God for these wonderful adventures!!

Music today from my mp3 cds - the only one I remember was coming home, playing loud:

Jackson Browne - Lives in the Balance, 1986
