Valley Way Tent Platforms
Campground
Fallsway is a short, easy hike in New Hampshire, about 0.1 mile from the town of Appalachia. The trail is roughly 1.3 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 420 feet, and it makes a natural out-and-back. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch around the half-mile mark, where the grade reaches about 16 percent. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows bikes. It is not an accessible trail, according to the Forest Service's accessibility status. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station show July highs around 75°F with lows near 53°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. The Air Line and Valley Way hikes both start about 0.1 mile away. Barnes Field Campground and the Pine Mountain climbing area are within about 4 miles.
