Roaring Brook Falls - NY (Waterfall)

-Approx 1196 NY-73, Keene Valley, New York
-Visited June 2015
-roadside / 1/2 mile
-easy
-no bathroom
-nearby: Giant Mountain
-notes:
      -small dirt parking lot on side of the road, free
      -well marked trail
      -can see falls from the side of the highway, but is distant
     -.2 mile trail that is flat and level to get to the bottom of the falls
     -have to stand in the middle of the river to get a good vantage point
     -can take an additional trail to the top of the falls as well as some other cascades along the trail (go off trail and follow the river)
     -hill to the top of the falls is kind of steep
     -falls is 100 foot drop?
     -the rocks that make the top of the falls are very very slick so use extreme caution. One wrong move and you are going for an epic ride
     -can continue trail to the summit of Giant Mountain, if you have time (is a few miles though)
