Boardwalks make the climb up easy at Sabbaday Falls located just south of NH state route 112 (Kancamagus Highway). This is an easy hike that overlooks Sabbaday Brook as it tumbles 35 feet down in a series of picturesque cascades.

The Parker River National Wildlife Refuge preserves over 4700 acres of salt marsh, sand dunes, and beachfront on the north shore of Massachusetts at Plum Island, not far from Newburyport. Home to over 300 species of animals, it is a prime area to view migratory birds. With its core mission of providing crucial wildlife habitat, the refuge typically closes large sections of beachfront in the spring to protect the Piping Plover, a shorebird that nests on the open beach and is very sensitive to human encroachment.
This wooden boardwalk winds through the sand dunes from parking area #3 to the ocean. The scene was captured on an unusually warm November day with a stiff wind blowing. The grasses have turned to a soft tan color, most of the tree leaves have fallen, but some bushes still show off their red leaves; red berries are abundant.
