New Hampshire is full of beautiful waterfalls, but many of them require quite a bit of hiking. That’s all well and good – but sometimes you just want the views without the work (and time commitment). If you don’t have all day to go exploring, check out these incredible falls, where you’ll get all of the drama after just a short walk.
You’ll find Glen Ellis Falls just past Pinkham Notch on Route 16 in Jackson - use the parking lot for the Glen Boulder and Wildcat Ridge trails.

Pass through a pedestrian tunnel under the highway and you’ll only need to walk about a quarter mile to the falls.

You’ll soon reach the rushing water of the top of the falls, part of the Ellis River.

For the best vantage point, head down the stone steps to see the 65 foot high falls in their full gloryy.

Stop for a bit and relax as you enjoy the main falls and smaller areas where water rushing over walk forms smaller areas of falling water.

The falls are peaceful, majestic, and a true New Hampshire treasure.

Make a note to go back in the winter, too - ice and snow will make you see the falls in a whole new way.
