Arethusa Falls is by some accounts the tallest waterfall in New Hampshire. It is found by climbing 1-1/2 miles into the forest off the highway through Crawford Notch in New Hampshire's White Mountains.
The classic old 1902 Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods is five miles up the road. It was the site of the 1944 Bretton Woods monetary conference at which the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund were established.
Well done on the climb Jack, the photos were well worth it! what a fabulous outlook the Mount Washington Hotel must have..book me in :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful falls and hotel!
ReplyDeleteThat hotel is really something! Looks like an appropriate place to discuss money.
ReplyDeleteHiked it many times. Refreshing and wicked COLD!
ReplyDeleteThe Mount Washington is a great old hotel. I stayed there for my honeymoon in the late 80s. At that time the common areas were nicely done but the rooms needed a facelift. Still a lovely place to stay though.
ReplyDeleteArethusa was a nymph whose name means the waterer: this is a great name for a place like this. The hotel is simply wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGreat images, Jack. That is a grand hotel. I need to get up to the White Mountains sometime. I'm sure seeing the waterfall made the hike worth it.
ReplyDeleteImpressive waterfall and hotel in a woodsy, mountain setting. Looks like a fine walk to get there.
ReplyDeleteImpressive hotel and equally impressive waterfall. Looks like a wonderful place to get back to nature.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to say that instead of holding international conferences in resort settings, they should hold them in undesirable locations so that the negotiators would be more incentivized to achieve progress.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking falls.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a beautiful place -- the falls and the hotel!! Wonderful captures as always, Jack! I even love those moody skies and your "models" for the day are perfect! Hope your weekend is going well!
ReplyDeleteLove the mood of your last pic with this dramatic sky!
ReplyDeleteYou've just reminded me of my history lessons. It looks like it's a beautiful area!
ReplyDeleteNo pain, no gain. I can remember hiking several miles in the woods of northern Minnesota to get to some waterfalls. That was worth it, too. What a majestic hotel and setting!
ReplyDeleteIf I haven't mentioned it before, love you header!
I've been to those falls once. Terrific images today, Jack!
ReplyDeleteHi Jack (oops, can't say that too loud here....),
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of a really neat place. It looks like a cool, comfy place to be right now.
Sunday greetings from Port Canaveral,
Lois :)
Beautiful view of an economic icon. Sounds a long hike, but with great payoff, what scenery!
ReplyDeleteThe hotel looks like the sort of place where important, historic events take place. Very grand. And the falls are beautiful. I love the smooth polish of the top of the log in the first shot.
ReplyDeleteWow, great place, both the hotel and the water fall.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics, Jack! What a great hotel!
ReplyDeleteThe last photo reminds me of shots of The Stanley in Colorado or The Homestead in Virginia. When I was a child my family spend a week at the Balsams in Dixville Notch. I still remember the string quartet in the lobby before dinner.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful hotel! Book me a room!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, the last one has so dramatic sky!Amazing!

Gorgeous waterfall and the hotel shot is fantastic too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity I'm not staying there! I guess I might make it to the falls though.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I haven't been to Arethusa Falls for way too long!
ReplyDeletePerfect :)
