Boardtree Falls - Scenic spot in Altamont - Greeter Trail, USA

Perfect combination of scenic and challenging. When doing initial research over this location, we noticed greeter falls was a 3 mile hike. There are certain terrains on this loop that make up for the relatively "short" distance. Beginner: 2/10 I would not suggest this for your first hike or "beginner" level hikers. But, if you are familiar with changing terrains or are particularly "fit" than this is an excellent hike to test your intermediate hiking skill level. Pet- ability : 7/10 Some people had said this would be difficult for your dog to join on a hike and I would slightly agree. This really depends on your skill level again. If you are a beginner, leave the pup at home and focus on your safety. If you are intermediate (and Don't be afraid to admit that you have been on at least 5 hike and are now ready to challenge yourself) then the pup should be fine to tag along...as long as they don't have any prosthetics or underlying medical conditions (*consult your family vet). Challenge/ safety concerns: 5/10 There were some "sketchy" ledges you could cross to get above the falls. Again, not an issue for intermediate hikers... watch your children and pups. The first large rock on bottom of stairs could cause some harm...but we used it as a slide to get to the bottom of the falls (check photos) Swim ability: 10/10 These falls make for an amazing swim. I have started diving in every falls that will not take my life...so all of them. I did chance hypothermia for this review as it was 60°F and the water was Ice cold. Check the photos for legitimacy. Overall: this hike was amazing. We will be going back and you will not be disappointed. BTW, bring water shoes to get that extra shot your friends can't. SRP

Boardtree Falls is one of the parks beautiful little waterfalls. The hike down is short but some people or kids may find the path difficult as the steps have been weathered. At times they can be slippery so

Always a good time and a far more private section of the overall trail. Greeters is the attraction but always gotta stop here first (I personally like doing the trail in reverse).

I didn't get a chance to explore everything this area has to offer, but I'll be back because what I did see was outstanding. Despite there being a dozen or so vehicles in the parking lot, I only crossed two people in my journey. The path to the bottom of the falls had a tree across it, but you could still go under it.

CAREFUL, on the short rough trail to get down to bottom of falls, there's a yellowjacket nest under one of the rocks! Got stung three times before I realized what was happening. Took this pic.....and found a DIFFERENT way to get back up on the trail to avoid the yellowjackets!!

Beautifully full waterfall this time of year. I'm a little upset I didn't venture down to the lower falls area but I will make sure to next time! The hike to it is fairly easy, though it was muddy and the rocks were a touch slippery. Worth a visit if you are already in the area and after a lot of rain.

Absolutely most gorgeous waterfalls with an amazing trail and the scenery is so beautiful. It's dog friendly with areas to wade in and take a dip.

This trail leads to a gorgeous waterfall with spectacular views. When I went on New year's day it had been raining the days before so it was muddy and slick but it was worth the effort to get there. We took the trail down and finally came to the metal winding staircase that took you down to the most fabulous views of the waterfall. There was another set of stairs leading down to the bottom and it looks like in warmer weather you could possibly swim there. I can't wait to go back again when I have more time to explore better.
