Description

Turning Page Farm was born out of our disillusion with what is generally thought of as success. We longed to design our lives rather than having them dictated by the whims of corporate mission statements that changed with every new Re-org. Our new goal was to have full control of our lives, food and future.  We wanted decisions made and plans enacted to have real impact on our lives. Real results that we could see and feel and touch and taste.

Overview

A 20-foot high, sixty degree slide falls will make you gasp, as it crashes into the canyon from the left, spanning its whole width and surging against the canyon wall to your right.

Description

Unknown to most AT hikers, a short side hike half a mile before the AT’s crossing of Wilson Stream would reveal the most spectacular waterfall of this entire section, on Thompson Brook. Approaching the falls from downstream, you first encounter two sets of ledge drops with 20+ feet combined total drop. While scenic enough in high water, don’t be fooled. The real prize lies higher upstream. Less than a quarter mile above the lower set of falls, a narrow slot canyon perhaps 40 feet deep begins to present itself upstream. Keep hiking to gain a vantage point of the main falls. And there’s more! Blocked by the canyon, you must backtrack and climb up to the left hand (south) rim of the gorge. After a difficult, trail-less 100 yard climb amid thick beds of moss and massive white pines, you see it: a 50 foot high, impossibly perfect cascade plummeting into a deep gorge and pool that immediately exits into the 20 foot slide falls described above. And immediately above the 50 footer, like the top level of a three-storey cake, is a perfect ten foot falls plunging into its own deep pool. Finally, to finish off the spectacle, a short distance higher up are two pretty falls each five or six feet high, rendered ordinary only by comparison with the stunning display below.
