Doing our good deed and making a donation, we entered .
Took a leisurely stroll…
Down into the woods…
Past some type of fairy installation….
And a tree who clearly loves his rock….
Across a bridge…
Alongside a stream…
And found the bottom of the Baths.
Not usually the best part of a bath but…
These are a different type of bath entirely.
Not much is left of the old sawmill.
But if you look carefully…
You can find it.
We happily spent the whole afternoon exploring this place.
Hiking the trails and climbing the rocks …
And there were plenty of rocks to climb.
The water levels in the autumn are quite low…
And it gently cascades down a section here…
And there.
But in the spring it’s dangerously high from the snow melt.
(Required selfie)
In the summer the pools fill, and it’s a favorite spot to beat the heat.
This place reminds of the ONE time I did a hike with a two-year-old strapped to my front, down and up some rocks to see a waterfall. It would have been refreshing had I not been gasping for breath. I think I enjoy hikes and its views this way, via your posts.

I’m happy to hike and explore for my less activity inclined readers. There’s nothing like a good armchair stroll through the forest…. enjoy!

We have a somewhat similar set of falls in eastern, CT calls Diana’s Pools. What was she the goddess of?

Fairy houses built out of bark and twigs and leaves are pretty often found in the woods up here. The kids love to make them…

You’ll be happy to hear that I can’t think of a single pun to complement this post (not that my married puns ever helped either), so I’ll just say that the scenery is lovely and your selfie does nothing….but complement it.
