Above Lake Morey is a wonderful series of waterfalls. This is a hike you can take as long a distance as you wish before backtracking. You can also continue up until you meet the Cross Rivendell Trail and then follow it east back down to your car passing some great views. So it can either an easy or a challenging hike as one climb higher and higher along the Glen Falls Brook.

Heading up the trail one soon reaches the Lower Glen Falls. Even when the brook has little water, as it did this day, the falls were still quite nice.

Here are the Lower Glen Falls when they were running fuller.

A bit farther up there is an interesting burl and some cascades.

Below is a series of photos as we move in closer and closer to Middle Glen Falls. Some folks consider this the main Glen Falls. The narrow 25-foot plunge pours through a small opening cut between the gorge walls into an almost perfect circular pool. 

Above the main falls are additional cascades and plunges. Most visitors stop at the main falls, but you should venture farther since there is more to see.

Climbing still higher we reach, of course, Upper Glen Falls. These are more challenging to see in their entirety and to photograph.

If you venture even higher you can cut north and catch the Cross Rivendell Trail, a very nice hike back to your car.

Before this trail downs somewhat steeply down, you can get a nice view across Lake Morey to the Lake Morey Resort — a really great place.

DIRECTIONS: The trailhead is in Fairlee on the west side of Lake Morey just above a VT Fish and Wildlife boat launch. There is a parking lot on the west side of the road. From here there are three options. The easiest is to walk south along the road a short distance then head right into the woods to the west keeping north of the brook.
