Glendale Falls - MA (Waterfall)

-112 Clark Wright Road, Chester, Massachusetts
-visited June 2017
-.2 to base of the falls
-easy
-no bathroom
-nearby: Goldmine Brook Falls, Sanderson Brook Falls
-notes:
     -big dirt parking lot marked by tiny roadside sign, free
     -Clark Wright Rd is half paved and half compacted dirt, in good condition
     -use the trail to walk to the bottom of the falls, then walk up the falls, trail is not marked but is easy to follow
     -trail is all shade, falls is all sun
     -minimal bugs, almost none
     -can't get full waterfall in one picture, have to climb up the falls to get better angles of all the parts
     -would be better with more water, but ok in low water, may dry up if not enough though (parts of it may not flow)
     -lots of trees/vegetation growing in the falls, obstructs view
     -minimal debris, mainly in bottom/right side
     -trail is a mixture of minimal incline with almost flat terrain and man made stairs (wood-stone-wood and dirt) - lots of stairs so lots of stepping, makes hike easier / less steep
    -use caution when climbing falls, can be slick due to moss
     -falls is in one general area / level, but broken into multiple pieces or 'falls' that are spaced out
