Ripley Falls - NH (Waterfall)

-End of Willey House Station Road, Whitefield, New Hampshire
-visited August 2015
-.6 miles each way
-easy
-no bathroom
-nearby: Mount Willey/Field/Tom, Arethusa Falls, Mount Willard
-notes:
     -very small dirt parking lot, free
     -short spur trail off main trail for Mount Willey
     -trail is well marked
     -trail alternates between flat and no stepping to lots of roots, stone and erosion and some stepping
     -hill to the base of the falls is somewhat steep and has a lot of rock and erosion
     -60 foot? cascade down a rock
     -dependent on rainfall, only go after a lot of rain (basically in Spring)
     -trail can get really muddy in some areas and rocks can be slick so use caution
     -pretty good visibility of falls, some vegetation makes certain angles obstructed
     -no debris in falls
     -minimal bugs
     -can bring dogs
