Summary

Three waterfalls in one hike?  Tell me more! 

Join us for this 5.2-mile, moderate hike of Purgatory Falls in Lyndeborough/Wilton, NH.  The hike takes 2-3 hours.  The trail can be muddy, and black flies can be a problem.  Please bring appropriate footwear with traction for wet rocks, sunscreen, bug spray, plenty of water, and lunch.   If you think you want to go into the water, I would recommend bringing water shoes, too.   There are a few parking lots for the falls, so be sure to look for “Lower Falls” when searching on your GPS of choice.  I hope you can join us!
