Details
About 9 miles, we will take the Falling Waters Trail ascending to the ridge at Little Haystack, across the open ridge to Mt Lafayette, descend to Greenleaf Hut and down the Bridle Path Trail to the trailhead. Bring sturdy footwear, light fleece top, windbreaker or rain shell, lunch, snacks, 2 liters of water, and an appetite for the beautiful. Rain cancels but Sun Oct 7 is alternate date.
Directions
Parking is on both sides of I-93. From the south, trailhead will be immediately to your right when the road narrows to one lane. You will see a sign directing you to take the ramp for the trailhead. From the north, exit at campground for parking and take the pedestrian tunnel under I-93. I have a silver Nissan 4X4 truck. Meet by the sign near the toilets.
