Sabbaday Falls, Cascading waterfall in White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire.
The three-tiered waterfall drops 45 feet through granite formations, creating a series of pools and cascades along Sabbaday Brook.
The falls received their name from early settlers who discovered the location on a Saturday and designated it as a resting point before Sunday.
The waterfall serves as a central point for nature photographers who document seasonal changes in the White Mountains throughout the year.
A maintained 0.3-mile trail from the Kancamagus Highway leads to observation platforms that provide multiple viewing angles of the falls.
The geological structure of the falls includes smooth, carved channels in the bedrock that demonstrate the power of water erosion over time.

New Hampshire reveals a land where the White Mountains have shaped the skyline for millennia. Between northern coniferous forests and southeastern Atlantic coasts, this New England state features waterfalls cascading over granite, glacial passes carved 15,000 years ago, and industrial villages embedded in red stone. Archaeological sites, lighthouses guiding ships on Piscataqua, and estates where early 20th-century artists shaped American identity await discovery. Trails wind through gorges, along lakes reflecting peaks, and through forests where remnants of old foundries remain. Autumn light illuminates maple trees, winter turns ravines into ice amphitheaters, and spring causes waterfalls to roar. From Mount Monadnock to the Shoals Islands, New Hampshire offers a varied geography where each hill, waterfall, and stone bears witness to a deeply rooted natural and human story within the landscape of New England.
