Georgianna Falls, Franconia Notch NH

May 8, 2010... Georgianna Falls, Franconia Notch, NH. The Franconia Notch Vacations Report.

We had been wanting to re-visit one of our 'ole favorites' this past week to rekindle the memories of why it's a favorite... and glad we did. The walk in to Georgianna Falls fallows along the Harvard Brook which is laden with smaller falls along the way. The Photo to the right is of where you get the first good look at Harvard Brook.








The photo to the left is one of many smaller rivulets along the way. The side streams are best and some times only seen during spring run-off and after torrential rains. See, there is an up side to rain in the mountains yet please always use caution near the water. White Mountain river rocks get extremely slippery!!


The first set of falls which are spectacular in their own right, and as seen below left, are but a taste of what lies ahead. The trail does get steep at times and may be difficult to follow. Wear a good pair of hikers and if you drift too far of stream, you know you are off trail. Just keep this in mind as you work your way up through the rocks that have "washed up" during previous floods. There's lots of'em, you'll see. See Below Right

From the mid-spring weeks of about April 27 to May 15, give or take a bit for location south vs. north and you are most sure to see some of the most beautiful Spring Trilium along the way.

On-ward and upward and after about 35 to 40 minutes you ought to be nearing the top and main set of falls. Careful on the climb up and no goofin' around near the edges allowed. The price of slipping will be a hefty if not life threatening one. Just be safe and you will be fine however.

Mid-Summer's just about here. Why aren't You?

We so often forget that summer in merely 94 days long, which includes 21 days of September. So, take the "tail end of summer" out because school's back and most of the freedom of summer is lost by then and by our count that puts us just about in the middle of the Sweet Spot called Summer in NH's White Mountains. This summer is no different, with cool evenings, warm days and lots of clear skies and green, mountainous landscapes to be enjoyed. Best of all... NO Crowds, No Traffic and No Hassles along the way.

Now when we say clear I suppose we need to qualify just what we mean... which would be nice clean air. Have we been clear of rain? That's another story, as the spot thunder showers that so often occur in the afternoon hours on warm-n-sunny days certainly have been, yet in the past 3 days we have received a solid to almost severe amount of rain. Yup- it's dampened some spirits and gotten a few others more familiar with satellite television than they ever wished to, however there are a few upsides to highlight.

Fast running rivers and fabulous water falls. We got both right now and seems we will for the next good number of days if not well into next week. No worries of smaller streams going dry and lower water rivers not supporting your trip down stream right now folks. As I have regularly enjoyed both pursuits myself on many occasions ,chasing water falls and kayaking local stream (not at the same time however!), for those folks staying with Franconia Notch Vacation seeking the "insiders direction on where the sweet spots are to be found" I'll be there to direct you in a knowledgeable & caring manor.

For those folks thinking about Fall Foliage in NH's White Mountains... now is the perfect time to pick out your perfect place to see it all. Having served the regions travelers for more 25 years now we are well prepared to tell you when, where and how best to find the most spectacular Fall Foliage Splendor available anywhere. We know the area's roads and country lanes better than most and welcome the chance to share.
