We hiked over the weekend in the Crawford Notch area of New Hampshire. The view from the parking lot shows the Frankenstein Cliffs and we were up there, about 2500'. The trail in that area was poorly marked on the way down and we felt that the trail signs lied, this was much more than 3 miles. At the end, we bushwhacked to the railroad bed and followed the rails back to the beginning of the hike, then back down to our car. Total hike for the oldsters, 6 hours. We would not recommend the cliff trail, but were glad we did it.
These are the highest falls in New Hampshire, about 200 feet high. You can't really feel the scale and majesty of the falls from the photo. Beautiful fall colors on the trees now too. The hike to the falls was definitely worthwhile and that trail was clearly marked.
I think I will make a new painting of this cliff (glacier). It will remind me how much I ached going downhill, but how proud I am of myself that I can still do it! The views from the cliff are of the presidential range of mountains.
