Stunning views! It was a challenging hike but very rewarding. Beautiful waterfalls on the way up the Falling Waters Trail. Definitely bring a lot of water to drink if you plan on hiking the ridge.
Beautiful area. Beautiful walk. Breath taking. Photographer's delight. Well worth the trip. I'm planning my return trip...Soon
Amazing to drive through, you feel like you are in a canyon with two big walls on either side the mountains are so close to the road on each side.
Breathtaking views and notch has many things to do in close proximity---Cannon Mtn. Tramway, Flume Gorge and numerous stops for trails and sights.
This was my most favorite walk (hike) of my trip. Take a walking stick if walking is at all difficult. There is a boardwalk climbing up the gorge. It is beautiful and worth the effort. The leaves were gorgeous and there are some very interesting ancient trees with roots which seem to grow around rocks.
What a beautiful nature hike!! At the south end of Franconia Notch, the Flume is a mountain stream with waterfalls between high granite walls. You climb through the gorge via a boardwalk. This is not an easy climb. At times it is steep and it is 1.5 miles round trip. However, if you are an adventurer and fairly fit, go for it!! You will love this gem of nature.
We didn't go thru the park but did drive thru. The Notch is beautiful and so is the sceanery around it.
Beautiful, especially in the fall. There is the park and then the drive through the notch. The drive has several places to pull over and take in the scenery.
Hiking the ridge is a must for all hikers even with the crowds. Early week is the best time to beat crowds. The Flume Cannon Mountain or the Basin all worth a look. Something for everyone or just drive the parkway for the views.
This was my third time up the gorge, and it was as spectacular as always. You do not have to be a mountain-climber to make it to the top. Take your time, and enjoy the beauty!
