Crystal cascade is rated as one of the best waterfalls in NH and I wanted to visit the falls before I left for New York. Most of the directions posted online for the falls state that its located just a short walk from the Appalachian Mountain Club Pinkham Notch Visitor Center on the way to White mountain auto road. So naturally, on my way back from there I went to the falls.

The nice lady behind the information counter told me that it's just a short distance from the parking lot, the distance was indeed short but was a little steep. I was really tired from a whole day of driving especially the nerve-racking Mt Washington drive and was in no condition for a climb. It took me almost 40 minutes to cover what other people were covering in 10 minutes but the waterfall was worth the effort, there is a nice viewpoint but getting to the base of the fall requires some skills and is impossible with a DSLR and a hefty tripod.

The Glen Ellis Falls is quite close to this one and is equally majestic. you will have to stop at the parking lot and take a tunnel to cross the highway and there is a beautiful pathway that will help you make it to the bottom of the falls.
