Crystal Cascade: 0.4 miles (20 min.) This hike is ideal for families with young children and leads to a beautiful volcanic vent. Park at the AMC Pinkham Notch Visitor Center parking area. Follow the Tuckerman Ravine Trail (which leaves from behind the Visitor Center) until you see the steps on your right leading to the overlook for Crystal Cascade. This trail eventually ends on the summit of Mount Washington
