About This Trail

Imported description

The Lakes Region Conservation Trust can provide further information. The Little Yosemite of the East is a short trail that leads to five of the most beautiful New Hampshire waterfalls. The trail is well-marked and most of it runs along the water. It is located within the Castle in the Clouds. The trail can be combined with the longer Mount Roberts trail. There is a nice parking area with a large map. If you are looking for a waterfall, this trail is good, if you are looking for a mountaintop view. There can be a lot of ticks.
