Hike Description:
From the parking area, walk around the visitor center to the trailhead for Tuckerman Ravine Trail. Follow this trail for a quarter-mile to a bridge over Ellis River. There are some nice cascades just upstream.
The trail heads up and there is a stone staircase that leads to an overlook to view the falls.
I thought this one was really spectacular. The upper drop is separated by a pool and then the lower drop falls into a narrow gorge.
Here's a video of the falls.
