The Waterfall Route

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on our first Guess Where trip! We made all the stops at the suggested places. We felt especially lucky today because we got to enjoy a free delicious pancake breakfast that was offered at the Misty Meadows Market (last Saturday every April). We will definitely do another one of these trips….the hard part is always deciding which one!

Great time

We had a lot of fun discovering all the waterfalls. Just be aware what day you decide to go, some of the side routes are closed on certain days.

Wanderlust in waterfalls

My 10 year old daughter and I did this trip as a day trip in the fall. We were so excited at the idea of not knowing where we were headed and being surprised at every turn.
We took full advantage of all the market recommendations and food stops and they did not disappoint! We were able to explore places we would have never thought of on our own. Each waterfall provided an opportunity to get out and walk around. We had a total blast and made so memories!
