Local Natural Wonders Day 13 - Glen Ellis Falls near Gorham, NH

Located in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire, Glen Ellis Falls Trail is a short (less than 1/2 mile) out and back hike. The parking lot is located off Route 16, less than 20 miles south of Gorham and 16 miles north of North Conway.

A unique start to this little hike is a tunnel under route 16 to the other side of the road, at which point the trail is mostly alongside Ellis River, leading to the bottom of the impressive 64-foot falls, before heading back. This beautiful hike is one not to be missed, and is equally gorgeous in the wintertime (just be sure to bring crampons, as the trail can be quite icy). MAP and DIRECTIONS
