To get to the 'Champney Falls', take a detour from the direct summit path to 'Mount Chocorua' and follow the 'Champney Brook' up the valley. The falls are divided into several cascades and torrents and carry large amounts of water. The falls are named after Benjamin Champney, the pioneer of the White Mountain artists (1817-1907). https://www.newenglandwaterfalls.com/nh-champneyfalls.html https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5364479.pdf

Mount Chocorua is named after the Sokosis chief Chocorua, who lived in the early 18th century. The 1,064 m high Mount Chocorua is one of the most frequently climbed mountains in the US state of New Hampshire. The Appalachian Mountain Club notes that Mount Chocorua is one of the most photographed mountains in the world. https://www.chocorualake.org/hike-chocorua The striking mountain is the easternmost peak of the Sandwich Range and lies at the southern end of the White Mountains. The rocky peak is the result of a series of forest fires between the early 19th and 20th centuries. From its summit there are excellent views of the surrounding mountains and forests. The mountain is part of the almost 25 sq. km. large protected area ‘Mount Chocorua Scenic Area‘, which was created in 1986 as part of the ‘White Mountain Forest Plan‘. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5364479.pdf
