Every year the trails along the gorge rim at Trenton Falls are open to the public for only two weekends. Typically once in the spring and then again in the fall. Every year I manage to miss the openings and my only chance to view and/or photograph the falls. This year the town of Trenton held an event on a Saturday in the middle of summer to educate people about the history of Trenton Falls. Luckily for me I had to take my daughter to a friends house close by the falls on the day of the event. Since I generally take the camera with me no matter were I go and had everything I needed to do some exploring.

Access to the falls is limited due to instability in the area and due to the fact it is privately owned. The one rim trail that is used during the open weekends allows viewing the various falls that make up Trenton Falls from limited outlooks. Just about every vantage point is from above. This really limits the photography. At least I can say I have finally been to the falls…
