The 'Coliseum Falls' are located below the 'Bemis Brook Falls' on the trail of the same name, a less frequented alternative to the 'Arethusa Falls'. The water falls down a low granite step and flows over a long, flat granite slab in the valley floor down into the 'Fawn Pool'. In dry times you can walk from the waterfall to the pool on the granite slab. https://www.newenglandwaterfalls.com/nh-arethusafalls.html

The 'Bemis Brook Falls' are located below the 'Arethusa Falls' and can be reached on the 'Bemis Brook Waterfalls Trail'. This alternative route to the 'Arethusa Falls' runs along the valley floor and climbs steeply up to the main route at the lower waterfall. Only a few hikers visit the smaller waterfall, which falls over four steps of granite rock. https://www.newenglandwaterfalls.com/nh-arethusafalls.html

The Flume Gorge is a natural marvel carved over millennia by the Flume Brook at the base of Mount Liberty and Mount Flume. Its breathtaking scenery, including towering granite cliffs, lush forests, and cascading waterfalls, like the 45-foot Avalanche Falls, draws visitors from around the world. Accessible via a well-maintained boardwalk trail (with handrails and some stairs), the gorge offers an amazing experience for people of all ages. While it is accessible most of the year, the gorge's popularity peaks during summer and fall, when warm weather and vibrant foliage make it especially appealing, so be sure to make a reservation in advance.

Along with Arethusa Falls, Coliseum Falls is a popular waterfall in the White Mountain National Forest. It is normally a busy spot, but it is worth a stop for the great looking falls.
