This bash bish? ( above the falls) I can’t remember if it’s in mt. Washington( I know half the park is in MA, the other in NY)- but I know You drive through the town to get there. Either way, I’m curious what trail this is.

Yes this is above Bash Bish Park. I started off the road, which appears to be a trail. It's route 344, Falls Rd. which you see on the right.

I thought I recognized the summit/valley below :) Was thinking maybe there was a different park/trail I was unfamiliar with and wanted to ask for potential exploring possibilities. Either way, great shot.

Definitely worth a visit. The NY state side of the park has better infrastructure, especially now with foliage and wet leaves.

Grew up right around the corner, so I’m very familiar with the area/recognized the summit etc. Aside from the upper and lower parking lot/trials and hiking over the river and above the falls, I haven’t explored beyond. Do they still do camping NY side? Have always wanted too, but never got around to booking a site.

Did you ever dip at the falls? I was disappointed to learn it's now restricted.

For sure, just go downstream, there’s some beautiful pools. It’s understandable why it’s restricted. I’m surprised it didn’t happen decades ago since many people have died jumping off the falls. I feel like it was only in the last handful of years that it became restricted, after they weren’t able to recover a body.
