And as Always:

Arethusa Falls (#3) & Frankenstein Cliff

This was my first time hiking to Frankenstein Cliff and third time to Arethusa (NH's tallest waterfall).

(Parking was free, or a donation if one would like.)

We decided to change things up, instead of heading up on the regular Arethusa Falls Trail, we went down Bemis Brook Trail which brought us to see a couple of nice waterfalls.

"Fawn's Pool"

"Coliseum Falls"

The trail connects back to Arethusa Falls Trail. This was the first time seeing the falls without ice on it. There were a few other people there. 

Next up was Frankenstein Cliff Trail. This trail was a little hard than I was expecting. 

2451'

Heading down from the cliff was difficult. Some spots were wet and the trail was not marked very well. We ended up going down the wrong way.
