GLEN ELLIS FALLS Height 64 feet. Here the forces of nature provide their own spectacular show. The fall of water attests to the tremendous powers of moving water. From the snow-covered or rain-drenched peaks this river is born to feed others. In the few seconds this message has held your interest, a minimum of 600 gallons of water has passed this point. At this rate, the daily needs of a city of 25,000 people could be satisfied. Water, indispensable to the needs of man is one of the resources of the White Mountain National Forest. |

GEOLOGY OF GLEN ELLIS FALLS Thirty thousand years ago the Ice Age greatly changed the appearance of this area. The grinding action of ice steepened the valley walls and carved bowl-like cirques into the terrain. This Falls is believed to have been created following a series of avalanches from the overhanging cliffs on the east side of the valley. The Ellis River which had flowed uninterrupted during pre-glacial times was forced by the violence and struggles of the land masses to plunge over the headwall of a glacial cirque. |
