You’ll want to stop and admire the 30 foot deep Pool, formed according to the Flume Gorge website “at the end of the Ice Age, 14,000 years ago, by a silt-laden stream flowing from the glacier.” Walking through forests clothed in fresh green foliage on the Flume Gorge hike is a complete delight Stop at the Pool on the Flume Gorge hike This part of the trail offers truly delightful, easy hiking. Look for the sign pointing to the Liberty Gorge and Sentinel Pine Covered Bridge and continue, stopping at all the viewpoints along the way. Catwalks – that are removed every winter – run up the gorge The Flume Gorge sees some quarter of a million visitors every year Move quickly past this waterfall to avoid the spray Avalanche Falls is 45 feet highĪfter passing the viewpoint over Avalanche Falls the hike flattens out. It was formed in 1883 when a large boulder was dislodged during a massive storm. Count on getting a little wet when you scoot by Avalanche Falls, the final fall in the gorge. The hike follows a well-used catwalk/boardwalk so you’re able to get close up views of the mossy, fern covered walls, the pools and waterfalls. Here are some photos of the day (and what an awesome day it was).There’s a temperature difference of 10F between the Flume Gorge and the Visitor Centre most days The group was informed, entertained, and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

This set the stage for the rest of the hike. They didn’t travel far before Mike found something cool to share with his party. The leader of the group, Sondra, purchased entry passes, kindly including one for Mike, and they all proceeded to the start of the 1.5-plus mile walking loop. Using their wifi, the registrations could be completed before heading to the Flume Gorge Visitor Center. Mike met his group of eight women at the Duncan Donuts in Lincoln, NH.
It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it. Normally we’d put Redline Guide Liz Wyman on it, being that she is our official naturalist, but she wasn’t available so Redline Guide and owner Mike Cherim volunteered for the assignment himself. Avalanche FallsOne of our most recent requests involved something somewhat atypical for mountain guides, but it is something which fit right in with our Nature Tour offerings so when we got the call, we accepted the mission.
