The Falling Waters Trail is a 2.6-mile round-trip hike to Little Haystack Mountain, known for its beautiful waterfalls. Starting from the Trailhead Parking Lot or Lafayette Campground, hikers first encounter Stairs Falls, followed by the 60-foot Swiftwater Falls. The highlight of this hike is the 80-foot Cloudland Falls, a fan-shaped waterfall visible from trail. The hike can continue to the Franconia Ridge Trail, but caution is advised as the terrain becomes more challenging and the trail becomes a bit more exposed.

Cloudland Falls, an 80-foot waterfall, is the third waterfall along the Falling Waters Trail. Hikers can enjoy stunning views of the falls from the trail.

The Old Bridle path is one of the more famous trails in Franconia Notch in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This steep, strenuous trail is the most popular route to the summit of Mount Lafayette, and also leads to the AMC Greenleaf Hut. It is also often completed as part of a large, but amazing loop that includes the Falling Waters Trail up to the ridge where you summit Little Haystack, Mount Lincoln, and Lafayette, before heading down the Old Bridle Path.
