The stream
Looking down at the Falls
Not content with staying at home, I made for another day to a waterfall. This time, Bash Bish Falls. The trail starts in Copake, NY then crosses the MA state line. Bash Bish Falls at around 200 feet is Massachusetts highest waterfall. Much of that 200 feet is not within view. The portion that is easily recognizable is about 40 feet.
This is one of the easiest trails around. The trail to the Falls is 3/4 of a mile along a nice stream. Some leaves are falling making this a very pretty walk. Not much elevation is gained. The first view of the Falls is from up above. I recently read there have been 25 deaths in the past 100 years, mostly rock climbers and cliff jumpers. Just below the Falls a nice swim hole can be found. But, unfortunately a no swimming sign is also easily found.
I love Autumn!
I'd been there once several years ago. I found something erotic about the falls, the hunk of rock protruding out, the white water gushing around around it, the pool receiving the frothy flow. It's nature porn.
