From the Inside Flap
Discover the waterfalls of new Hampshire-some of New England's finest natural attractions-and in the process learn the history and terrain of the mountains themselves. This entertaining guide will bring you to over 100 waterfalls and give you suggestions for further hikes, swimming holes, and uncrowded picnic spots. Find the crag where viewing the 600-foot Ammonoosuc Gorge is "like looking at a splendid work of architecture from a third-story window," or discover the elusive Georgiana Falls, "plunging down a sheer cliff into a deep, narrow chasm at your feet." Features of this backcountry destination guide include:
- Excursions that range in length from a short stroll to a spectacular hike of nearly 20 miles past a dozen cascades.
- Details about 104 waterfalls: where to find the best swimming holes and bathing rocks; which falls are the tallest, which are best for children, which are the most remote; and much more.
- Photography tips, a complete camping directory, and information on alpine huts.
- Complete hiking information for 30 excursions: distance, difficulty, altitude gain, and trail directions. as well as a detailed map, and essays on local history and lore.
