Lye Brook Falls

Narrative: 

4.6-mile with 934 elevation gain popular hike to Lye Brook Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in Vermont, cascading approximately 125 feet down a series of tiers. The trail starts off on a wide, flat path before entering a mixed hardwood forest. From there, we followed an old logging railroad before the trail began to gradually climb on much rockier terrain. We crossed a few small streams and muddy places before coming to a fork where we took the one to the right, which led us on a spur trail to the falls. This section of the trail narrowed and hugged the side of a hill, with some interesting rock faces and running water.
