The Flume Gorge is part of the New Hampshire state park, and is located at the southern end of the Franconia Notch State park. The man-made board walk allowing visitors to ascend through the gorge is removed in the winter to prevent the ice flows from tearing it apart. Visitors can still enjoy the upper and lower end of the Flume via a parallel hiking trail. Flume brook runs through the Gorge and meets up with the Pemigewasset river at the covered bridge
A great way to start your hike.
Here is a shot I took this summer -while the stairs and board walk was still in place.
Here is the same location taken November 7th...with the first hints of ice forming (later this winter the ice will be huge)...I promise to share those pictures in the next frames, this hike is less than 5 miles from my office.
Needless to say the Gorge was formed by water...and the Avalanche Falls is at the upper end of the Gorge.
I took this Shot March 18th 2012...less than 8 months ago.
I think you can see why they remove the stairs and walk ways for the winter...And why I take this hike all the time it is just so beautiful out in the woods of the White mountains...I love it here.
