North Country explorer from
Harper's Falls is on the North Branch of the Grasse River, and it may be my favorite spot in the North Country (though to be honest, my favorite spot changes all the time). The falls cascade through a narrow chute, and empty into a lovely stretch of the river, which you can walk parallel to on the River Trail. It was an ideal fall afternoon, with comfortable temps, blue skies, and some great foliage.
On the trail I encountered some spectacular crimson bracket fungi on a dead tree trunk. My best guess is Beefsteak fungus (Fistulina hepatica), but I would love to read an expert opinion.

Harper's Falls is a lovely spot, and one I've only recently discovered after 14 years here! Just goes to show that there are always new natural places to explore!
