Very helpful reference for figuring out how to add more awe to my New England vacation. This year's drought did make some of them underwhelming. I hope to visit more in the spring in the future.

THe best resource of hikers to explore New Hampshire. No more rocky mountain trails. Get to the cool streams and find unknown beauty.

Skimmed this for waterfalls in my home state (CT) and found out there are two in RI, so when I visit my aunt & uncle, I will be sure to check those out.

This is a really helpful book regarding the waterfalls of New England. I used it to plan previous New Hampshire vacations, and am currently using it for my Vermont vacation. The authors also have a great online site so you can see additional pictures in color. This is a wonderful resource.
