Can anyone help attach a name to this falls? I literally slammed on the brakes along route 73 when I saw this spectacular one. It spills off the col between Giant and Noble Mountains. This photo doesn't do it any justice. It's the closest I could zoom as my camera would allow. From the crest to the valley floor was definitely hundreds of feet. It is labeled in my Gazeteer as just "Falls".

Cascade Lake Falls I would guess.

nope, that's not it. I can't figure out how to put a thumbtack in google maps. :oops:
Scroll along route 73 east, then south through Keene Valley and St. Huberts until you see Chapel Pond. It's on the opposite side of the road as Chapel Pond. You'll be able to clearly see the valley it flows through.

I pull the GPS from mapper.acme.com and paste it into google maps.

Nope, the marker didn't "stick". Oh well... the falls would be dead center in the map on my link.

I always knew it as Roaring Brook Falls. It comes off of Giant Mtn.

Yep, that's probably it. Thanks! I thought that name sounded familiar. It was discussed here...
