Sabbaday Falls — a spectacular multi-tiered falls and flume gorge reached by an easy, mostly-flat 0.3-mile walk from a signed parking area.
If you make just one stop-and-walk on this entire drive, make it this next one — the Sabbaday Falls parking, coming up on the right. It's an easy, mostly flat third of a mile up a well-groomed path — fine for most anyone — to one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the White Mountains. Sabbaday isn't tall, but it's a stunner: the Swift River's little sister brook drops through a narrow slot it has carved in the granite, a deep, straight-walled flume barely wide enough to spread your arms, then spills into green pools below, with a footbridge and stairs built right over the gorge so you can look straight down into it. The name comes from 'Sabbath Day' — early settlers are said to have reached it on a Sunday. Park, take the walk, and come back for the rest of the drive; we'll be right here waiting. Boone's got a tale a little further on that I promise you won't forget.
