Blue water with long shadows and lemon light on the far shore

Pemi Trail - The Pemigewasset

Pemigewasset means"swift current" in Abenaki, and the water does flow fairly quickly for a comparatively flat channel. At this late hour, the lemon sunlight and the blue reflection of the sky make a perfect color palette for what is otherwise not an especially remarkable trail.

As the last leg of the Lonesome Loop, however, this is a welcome respite from the constant but irregular pounding of the stony trails that cover most of the mountain.

A stream winds from left to right amidst rocks. A huge boulder-like ledge blocks the full view of a bluish white waterfall.

Basin Cascade Trail - Rocky Glen Falls From Downstream

This "elvish" scene might have charmed someone like Tolkien, looking for the perfection of the woodland. Rocky Glen Falls is probably the most lovely of the waterfalls of the White Mountains, even though it is not the largest.

A water fall streams down toward us from the center left, and a rock wall blocks the left, with grey tree on the right exposing its roots.

Basin Cascade Trail - Base of Rocky Glen Falls

This is the first sight of Rocky Glen Falls on the descent (and the last on the ascent). This pretty, but short, waterfall drains from a pool above the falls. There are numerous outlooks to get excellent views of this jewel of a waterfall.
