During our White Mountains vacation, we drove from North Conway through the White Mountains National Forest to Lincoln. About half way, we stopped at Sabbaday Falls for an easy family hike. Like many waterfalls and gorges in the area, it is believe to have been carved out by a glacier over 10,000 years ago. Indeed, Sabbaday Falls is much like The Flume Gorge in many ways, and is a very popular spot in the Summer. Unfortunately swimming is prohibited at Sabbaday Falls, but it’s a wonderful view and very much worth the hike. The kids may not agree as much with me as they were hot and wanted to cool off.
At the moment, I can’t seem to locate these files, but when I do, I’ll be sure to share more photos with you!

I agree! This is a really great spot for families.
And it’s a good place to go on a hot day too because a lot of the trail is shaded.
YES! It is well shaded in many areas. 🙂
