 A short hike near the Wildcat Ski Area across from Pinkham Notch. A wonderful though not always easy trail with many pretty cascades.

This is a typical early section of the trail, flat and simple, surrounded by young trees.

Wet dark mud in the foreground leads to a wooden walkway of beams. Sue walks along that bridge.

Thompson Falls - Going To The Stream

One of the interpretive areas of the trail is reached by a spur that leads out to a walkway and a viewing area overlooking a stream. This is the walkway.

A brownish stream is low between greyish orange stone walls, and is littered with greyish orange rocks. Green leaved branches dangle down over the river.

Thompson Falls - The Stream

This stream was once a place where logs were shipped down from the mountains to the Androscoggin River in Gorham. The brown water may be due to manganese concentrated by some type of algae, or to the algae themselves.

A rich fluffy area of grass beside a wooden walkway and a pine tree trunk.

Thompson Falls - Walkway and Grass Beside Stream

Beside the stream is this uniform area of perfect grasses.

A brown water stream slips across and between flattened dark brown rocks. On the far side, a packed dirt trail parallels the stream.

Thompson Falls - Crossing The Brown Stream

The path crosses this stream, which is a tributary to the stream down near the trailhead. The water here is also brown, perhaps from the same algae or minerals as that stream.
