![]() ![]() Pemigewasset River which seems to be endlessĬheck out the size of this leave! It was almost as large as my 8 and 1/2 shoe! The Skinny: There are even some airasols of water you can feel. This wooden staircase gets you up-close and personal to the sound, intensity and power of the waterfall here. Lots of phot0 ops here, this narrow portion there is a beauty soit usually involves several photos. This is the best part in my opinion, the water and granite walls are just so close to you and you can feel the power of the water and its intensity It doesn’t go through but you can walk into this cave a bit Trees bent over and leaning due to rocks in the way of their root systemsįoliose Lichen- a type of symbiotic organism from an alga and an fungus, very cool! Rest stop or shelter hut to escape from the elements The kids wanted to get close to the water! It’s 4 versions of the same thing…which is best?
