Kinda funny how there's a pretty clear division between the side that's mostly green vs. the side that's nearly all autumn foliage.

I can't really tell from the picture, but are they the same types of trees on both sides? Or is the green side mostly evergreens?

This bash bish? ( above the falls) I can’t remember if it’s in mt. Washington( I know half the park is in MA, the other in NY)- but I know You drive through the town to get there. Either way, I’m curious what trail this is.

I thought I recognized the summit/valley below :) Was thinking maybe there was a different park/trail I was unfamiliar with and wanted to ask for potential exploring possibilities. Either way, great shot.

Remember the popular bumper sticker, “This car climbed Mt. Washington”.

Grew up right around the corner, so I’m very familiar with the area/recognized the summit etc. Aside from the upper and lower parking lot/trials and hiking over the river and above the falls, I haven’t explored beyond. Do they still do camping NY side? Have always wanted too, but never got around to booking a site.

Fun fact: If you're lucky, you may be able to see NYC from Jersey City

I thought Mt. Washington was in NH? Who knew? And I live here in MA, but rarely leave Boston, so what do I know?

I'm fascinated by this town. It's on a plateau that isolates it from the surrounding communities, and there are few roads to the outside. There are only 136 residents. It's also one of the most gorgeous places to visit in the state, with some pretty impressive topography.

For sure, just go downstream, there’s some beautiful pools. It’s understandable why it’s restricted. I’m surprised it didn’t happen decades ago since many people have died jumping off the falls. I feel like it was only in the last handful of years that it became restricted, after they weren’t able to recover a body.

Yup, and the mountain in Mt. Washington, MA, is called... you guessed it! Mt. Everett

Add it to the list of dumb MA town names along with Peru and Florida and New Marlboro and Satan's Kingdom(ok that ones not technically a town, but still)

To be fair, NYS is basically at the base of Mt Washington. Hillsdale. Gross.
