Short Independence Day Hike - Glen Ellis Falls

Friday, June 6, 2014 17:07

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

We headed up to Jackson this past week, for some relaxation and some fun while celebrating our Independence Day. We did a lot of things that a family with a two year old does up in Jackson (Story Land, J-Town, the Inn Pool, Zebs, long drives to ensure lengthy naps, etc.), and we were also able to hit the trail, all-be-it a very short trail. On Thursday morning, we headed up to the Pinkham Notch and hiked the quarter mile trail to the impressive Glen Ellis Falls.

Glen Ellis Falls is located 0.25 miles down the Glen Ellis Falls Trail, which begins on the west side of Route 16 just south of the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center. The trail starts at a tunnel that brings you under Route 16 and quickly turns south. It follows cascades down the Ellis River and turns from typical trail terrain to a very nicely landscaped trail. Along the short trek, there are plaques that explain the geology of the falls for the visitors. At the end of the trail, there are quite a few stairs which lead to the bottom of the falls and a viewing platform.

The Glen Ellis Falls is simply awesome. The 62 foot plunge is certainly impressive, but the amount of water flowing through such a small cross section of space is amazing. It creates a powerful flow of water that you can feel and hear as you observe. It was definitely a great waterfall to visit with the baby.
