Trail description
SECTION: Getting There and Trail Access - REMOVE the paragraph: 'Your journey to Mossy Cascade Waterfall begins at the popular Roaring Brook Falls Trailhead...' and following paragraph. REPLACE with: 'The Mossy Cascade trail is accessible near Lake Placid and Keene Valley in the High Peaks Wilderness Area. The trail follows Mossy Cascade Brook on the way up to a series of cascades. Parking and trailhead access are available in these areas.' CHANGE in Hiking Experience section: Replace 'moderately challenging' with 'easy' and clarify '1 to 2 hours' should be approximately '1 hour' for the main waterfall, though extended routes to Hopkins Mountain take longer. ADD NOTE: 'For hikers seeking extended adventures, the trail can continue to Hopkins Mountain and connects to other High Peaks trails with increased difficulty and elevation gain (1758 ft total elevation gain and 2.9-3 miles for extended routes).'
