Did you know that there are actually two water falls in Vermont named Moss Glen Falls? Pictured on the right is Moss Glen Falls in Granville on Route 100. These falls drop down into a valley that runs through the Green Mountain National Forest. A boardwalk, created by an Eagle Scout winds through the woods until you get to the main water fall. Walk twenty feet into the canopy and you can barely hear noise from the road. Fresh cool air washes over you, but be prepared for mosquitos. The boardwalk is meant to last, but is not maintained by the Vermont Department of Transportation, so use it with caution. As you approach the falls, water roars down from high above and just makes you want to jump in, but don't. These falls are dangerous, rocks tumble down them constantly. Over thirty young people have died from swimming here. A sign used to warn visitors but was washed away during the floods a few years ago and has never been replaced. Where is the other Moss Glen Falls? Well, that's up Route 100 just past the center of Stowe, near Mount Elmore. A short walking trail and a minimal climb is required to get to the
big show. One of the best parts of traveling in New England is seeing geological wonders like these. -AMA
