Description
Avalanche Falls is a beautiful waterfall located in the famous Flume Gorge at the base of Mount Liberty in the White Mountain National Forest. The waterfall drops about 45 feet and features stunning plunges, horsetails, and cascades. It is fueled by Flume Brook, which is most powerful in the spring and on rainy days.
The waterfall is located at the end of Flume Gorge and can be accessed via The Flume Gorge Trail. The trail is a 2.2-mile loop trail and it is rated as easy. Visitors to Flume Gorge must pay to enter because of the many amenities offered, including the boardwalks built inside the gorge which allow visitors to get up close to the waterfalls, rocks, flowers, mosses, and ferns. Also, the Flume Covered Bridge can be found within the park!
