I hike Moosilauke last June on a out and back on Beaver brook trail, I loved the waterfalls and the steps were definitely well placed. The waterfalls were especially nice on the way down as the mist cooled me off a bit. <br /><br />Matt <br />Matt Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029625697809386503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-31627323548229428402017-06-20T12:32:20.052-04:002017-06-20T12:32:20.052-04:00Hi Rita,

There is a significant elevation gain between the trailhead and the last cascade, however it's somewhat mitigated by the frequent stops along the way to admire the waterfalls. Also, one doesn't need to hike all the way to the last cascade. As mentioned in my report, you can stop wherever you wish. Depending on your time and circumstances, perhaps simply visiting the first cascade would be enough to provide a satisfying experience.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-5620929403524137242017-06-19T23:59:46.652-04:002017-06-19T23:59:46.652-04:00Hi John,

It was great to be "disconnected" for awhile!<br />But it's also nice to see your new waterfall post. What a wonderful late spring outing—complete with a moose, all those shades of green, and numerous waterfalls.<br />Although the elevation gain sounds practically lung-bursting, I'd say that quality definitely trumps quantity on this hike!

Nope, they are all either trailside views, or accessible via a very short side path.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-60951597751099779902017-06-12T15:46:51.668-04:002017-06-12T15:46:51.668-04:00Very nice, John!
Beaver Brook Trail is on my list...Very nice, John!<br /><br />Beaver Brook Trail is on my list as it's always been brought to my attention as one of the premier trails up Moos, but mostly for the previous mentioned reasons of it being famously steep (or even scary), part of the AT, etc. I had no idea the scenery was so beautiful or that there was 0.5 miles of rolling cascades. You're pictures capture the real reason why this trail should be on someone's list!<br /><br />Do you have to go off the trail much to see the images you photographed or is the trail open to the brook most of the way?<br /><br />You certainly picked the right time to go as I'm sure these cascades are a mere trickle in the late summer months.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br />KarlKarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872637235573785618noreply@blogger.com
