The end of winter has us more excited than ever to get outside to explore the natural wonders of New Hampshire. From hikes to swims to boating and fishing, we plan on having a full summer of fun in the great outdoors! Our favorite activities are the ones that include multiple things, like hiking and a beautiful waterfall. Check this one out!
One of the most beautiful waterfalls in all of New Hampshire, Crystal Cascades, can be accessed by hiking a short distance on a lovely trail. Just head to the White Mountain National Forest.

You won’t be taking the full route as it’s just a quick trip to these double falls.

The out-and-back route is just under a mile, round trip. But it does lead uphill, so be ready for some elevation gain.

We love that this particular hike includes scenery that’s just as beautiful as the destination, including the Cutler River.

As you get closer you’ll probably hear the falls flowing!

There are two distinct drops here. The first is an impressive 60-foot drop, while the second is a shorter 20-foot fall.

The river then turns about 90-degrees making the entire scene quite impressive.
Mattew Ozor / Google This journey is beautiful and well-worth the portions that lead uphill. The route is short, making the payoff arrive quickly. And the falls? Well, they speak for themselves!
