Where the Waterfalls Are
Gorham sits in or near the Eastern White Mountains and the North Country area of New Hampshire. East of the main ridge, Pinkham Notch and the valleys around North Conway hold several of the state's most photographed falls. Glen Ellis Falls on the Ellis River drops cleanly into a pool below a stairway viewpoint in the White Mountain National Forest. Ripley Falls, on a short trail from Crawford Notch, slides down a long, steep granite slab. In Carroll County, Beede Falls near Sandwich is a quieter spot with a small pool and overhanging ledge. Coos County extends far north to the Canadian border, where Beaver Brook Falls near Colebrook sits right beside a state highway and other falls lie in remote spruce forest.
