Sinclair Falls Trail.
A tenth of a mile walk to a waterfall just off Route 73 in Keene Valley, Sinclair Falls Trail is more of a short access path than a hike. The falls themselves drop beside the highway between Chapel Pond and St. Huberts, visible from the road but worth the brief detour for a closer look. Expect a few minutes out and back.
