When we visited in October, 64 ft high Glen Ellis Falls was quite impressive with a great amount of water flow. The Falls are reached by just a very short walk (0.3-mile) from the parking lot. There is a pit toilet available near the parking area. You start the walk by going through a tunnel which goes under NH Route 16. Over 100 stone steps will lead you down to the base of the falls for the best viewing of the entire falls. When we visited, these stone steps were still wet from a rain the night before, so we had to use extra caution. The round trip walk took us 20 minutes. The location and description of the walk to this Falls was listed in the book, “AMC's Best Day Hikes in the White Mountain's” which we purchased prior to our trip. The book mentions that this is a very popular walk, so we are glad that we visited early in the morning. At that time of day it was not crowded at all. We were told by the White Mountains Visitor Center to display our Senior National Park Pass so that it could be seen through our car window. Otherwise, in the parking lots, there is usually a box for a fee for day use of White Mountains National Forest areas.

Awesome store with handmade and cool finds! Drove down the road just to cross the bridge, and I had to stop at this building. The building and items were unique and fun to look at. Staff was friendly and great to chat with about hiking and the mountain. Wish I had more time to stay and explore around the shop.

Great view of the waterfall and so peaceful to listen to the rushing water. A bench at near the top is so relaxing. Nature at it's best.

A magnificent jewel in Jackson, representing the history and gorgeous paintings. The newly commissioned painting is breathtaking. Warren is amazing and Jackson is lucky to have such a gentleman leading this organization. We try to visit each time we are in Jackson.

This is a very cute store! Lots of puzzles to pick from. They have a tiny room in the back for discounted puzzles and a room for kids puzzles. The woman who was there was so helpful and a lot fun to talk to. I would recommend this place if you like to do puzzles.
