 | Comments: |
A wildfire broke out today near Arethusa Falls and in front of Frankenstein Cliff. The Ethan Pond trailhead (and thus access to Arethusa Falls) is currently closed. The fire was big enough to trap the Conway Scenic Railroad in the notch. They had to bus the passengers back to North Conway. |
