Georgiana Falls

Months ago I planned to do some hiking in Franconia Notch with an old friend. When the day arrived, however, it was gray and drizzly, with all the summits deeply ensconced in clouds. So we avoided the trails to the high peaks and chose instead to hike up to one of the area’s hidden gems, Georgiana Falls.

With the fall colors beginning to emerge, and the leaves damp from the rain, it was a great opportunity to experiment with waterfall photography. My favorites are in this gallery, full resolution.

On returning home and studying the map and photos, we realized we’d made it to the falls labeled on the map but the map shows the trail climbs onward to some higher falls. I’ll need to return again!

Hike stats: about 2.6 miles round trip.
