Cloudland Falls is the highlight of the hike up the Falling Waters Trail. After about 1.4 miles of hiking in which you'll pick up 1100' of elevation, you'll arrive at Cloudland Falls, an 80' dancing fan of water. Above the falls, a side stream leaps into the gorge just above the brink. The main stem of the stream has a tiered waterfall too. This hike is a definite trip for any waterfall bagger in the Franconia Notch region.

This one of the best slow shutter studies I've come across, at least in low water. You'll want a tripod and a polarizer here. With the red tones of the granitic cliff, a warming filter might be overkill. The falls face west, so early morning or overcast days will be best. 28-80mm of zoom will capture this waterfall quite nicely.

Take Route 3/I-93 into Franconia Notch. Take the Lafayette Campground exit and cross your fingers for a parking space. The lot gets full quickly on weekends due to the large number of people who use the Falling Waters Trail as a connector to the Franconia Ridge Trail.
