White Mountains Tours

Whether your travels in the region take you along the Northern Loop, the Southern Loop, or the White Mountains Trail National Scenic Byway, you’ll enjoy spectacular scenery, discover picturesque covered bridges, fascinating historic sites, quaint towns & villages, and the friendly people the area is known for. Enjoy the ride! The White Mountains Trail tour begins on the next page. The Northern Loop begins on page 46, and the Southern Loop on page 52.

Take a Grand Tour The White Mountains region has long been known for natural splendor, historical charm, cultural richness and stimulating recreation— as well as some of the most beautiful scenery in the eastern United States. The White Mountains Trail, a National Scenic Byway, encompasses all these aspects over the course of its 100-mile route. The Trail is a loop tour that will take you through stretches of the 800,000-acre White Mountain National Forest and past many of the region’s popular attractions. While it can easily be driven in a day, it is just as possible to make it the object of an entire vacation’s worth of relaxation, exploration, and discovery.

works of Nathaniel Hawthorne and the landscape painter Thomas Cole, among others. Visitors in search of wilderness adventure and glorious scenery began to arrive in the White Mountains in significant numbers. Many of the scenic vistas we admire today are in fact little changed since then. The Northern and Southern Loops, which afford a look at life in and around the White Mountains, make for equally enjoyable and fascinating day trips. Many visitors access the region on I-93, so we’ll start this tour a bit south of where the Trail actually begins. The route boasts some spectacular mountain vistas, which are just a hint of things to come. Continued on page 32

In the early 19th century, the area enjoyed a period of great popularity, due in part to the 29

When the Cog was first proposed, the State Legislature was somewhat skeptical of the project’s success; so much so, in fact, that they gave the builder the right to build the “railway to the moon!” They never made it that far, but today you can ride the Cog to the summit of 6,288foot Mt. Washington. While you’re there, stop in to see the “Old Peppersass,” the world’s very first mountain-climbing locomotive, which puffed its way to the summit on July 3, 1869. Of more recent vintage is the Cog’s first biodiesel locomotive, which was put into service in 2008, and will diminish emissions and conserve the use of fossil fuels at the popular attraction.

The Twin Mountain and Bretton Woods area was first settled by Abel Crawford in 1792. Abel and his son, Ethan, built the Notch House, signaling the beginning of the hotel era there. Abel was also responsible for building the first path to the Mt. Washington summit, a route still in use today. For his efforts, Crawford is known as “the father of White Mountains tourism”.

From Rte. 302 in the center of Bartlett, you can choose from two routes. The shorter, open late spring to late fall, heads south over Bear Notch Road to the Kancamagus Highway; at the road’s highest point, an overlook offers breathtaking views of Mt. Washington. The more popular longer route follows Rte. 302 east to Glen, where it joins Rte. 16 south through North Conway and Conway. Before reaching Glen, you’ll discover Attitash, a mountain of fun for everyone, offering everything from alpine slides, a mountain coaster and scenic chairlift rides, to waterslides and mountain biking.

One of the most spectacular sections of the White Mountains Trail is the Kancamagus Highway, which runs for 341/2 miles from Conway in the east to Lincoln in the west. Designated a National Scenic Byway, “The Kanc” as it is known locally, traverses the White Mountain National Forest, crossing the flank of Mt. Kancamagus and climbing to nearly 3,000 feet in the process. Along its length you’ll find numerous hiking trails, picnic areas, waterfalls, campgrounds, historic sites and points of interest. In addition, a number of federally designated Scenic Areas and overlooks provide travelers with an opportunity to pull off the road and enjoy some truly breathtaking views.

The numerous overlooks along the Kancamagus Highway give travelers ample opportunity to pull over, enjoy the view, take some pictures, or—like this group at the Sugar Hill Scenic Vista—just stretch their legs.

And while the scenery is gorgeous at any time of year, it should be mentioned that The Kanc is often referred to as the best fall foliage trip in the United States (photographers take note).

between his people and the white settlers. Continued harassment by the English, however, eventually ended his efforts, and ultimately brought war and bloodshed to the region. In the early 1690’s, the tribes of the Confederacy scattered, and Kancamagus and his followers moved on, either to northern New Hampshire or—in some instances—to Canada.

The highway was named for Kancamagus, an early native American Chief of the Penacook Confederacy, who tried to keep the peace 40

It was Passaconaway, Kancamagusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grandfather, who, in 1627, originally united more than 17 central New England Indian tribes into the Penacook Confederacy. The rich flat land 12 miles from Conway is named for him. This community was first settled about 1790. The Russell-Colbath House is the only remaining 19th century homestead in the area, and serves as a US Forest Service Information Center. At the western end of the Kancamagus are the towns of Lincoln and Woodstock, a major summer resort area as early as 1870. Today the Lincoln/Woodstock area offers recreational opportunities of all varieties year round. From family and natural attractions, to fine and casual dining, to theatre and music options, there really is something here for everyone. Golfers will appreciate the course at

In an area like this, you expect the recreational opportunities to be practically endless, and you won’t be disappointed. The mountains are everywhere, of course, and provide everyone from cyclists to recreational hikers to serious climbers with more than enough in the way of trails and terrain to challenge both their skills and their muscles. And there are plenty of mountain rivers and streams for the kayakers and canoeists—everything from class IV whitewater to placid lakes and ponds suitable for more easygoing on-water pursuits such as tubing. Finally, fishermen and women will also enjoy the area as prime angling spots are plentiful. And as a rule, “they’re biting.”

tials, Mt. Madison and Mt. Adams; as you might expect, there are many trailheads in the town. Your next stop is Gorham, a notable vacation area for families and outdoor enthusiasts, set at the crossroads of Routes 2 and 16. Convenient to a number of man made and natural attractions, in 2006 Gorham was named “Best Sporty Town” in New Hampshire by Boston Magazine.

One of the town’s more notable residents was Eleanor H. Porter, author of the book Pollyanna, who was born in Littleton in 1868. The movie version of her work, of course, was responsible for catapulting the British actress Hayley Mills to stardom in this country.

From Littleton, it’s a scenic drive on Rte. 135 along the Connecticut River to Lancaster and Rte. 2. Or you may opt to head back on Rte. 302 to Bethlehem which, at 1,500 feet above sea level, is arguably the highest occupied village east of the Rockies. Known for its virtually pollen-free air, it was once the head-quarters of the National Hay Fever Association. These days, a variety of unique and fascinating shops and restaurants line Main Street.

Short of sprouting wings, we’re pretty sure the ZipRider is the fastest—and positively the most exciting— way to get to the bottom of Wildcat Mountain.

Also in Bethlehem is The Rocks Estate, a 1,400acre protected reserve managed by The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. The estate lists more than 13 buildings on the National Historic Register, serves as the Society’s North Country Conservation and Education Center, and is home to the Society’s sustainable Christmas tree farm and The Maple Experience.

Visit our New Hampshire country store, built in 1846, and try our 100% pure maple syrup!

West of Bethlehem, take Rte. 116 north to Jefferson, or travel farther east on Rte. 302 and pick up Rte. 3 north to Lancaster and Jefferson, home of two popular family attractions, Six Gun City and Santa’s Village, both of which offer a variety of fun rides and activities, all included with your admission. Six Gun City features the “Tumbleweed Speedway,” and “Tomahawk Run Waterslide” among other offerings, while visitors to Santa’s Village shouldn’t miss the live reindeer at “Reindeer Rendezvous” or the award-winning film “A Tinkerdoodle Christmas,” presented in Christmas Tree-D (3-D)

An eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye view of Jackson confirms what the locals have known for years: towns just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any prettier than this.

From there, turn south on Route 16 through Pinkham Notch. The scenery along this stretch is striking, but some of the most spectacular views in all the White Mountains still lie ahead. Speaking of views, whether you take a guided van ride or drive yourself, a trip to the top of the highest peak north of the Carolinas and east of the Rockies is an experience not to be missedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Mt. Washington Auto Road isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t world famous for nothing!

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer a terrific view of Mt. Washington rather than from it, treat your family to a ride on the four-passenger Wildcat Express gondola skyride or new ZipRiderâ&#x201E;˘ at Wildcat Mountain.

Follow Route 16 south from the base of Wildcat or the Auto Road, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come to the picturesque village of Jackson. Many visitors walk the pleasant mile-and-a-half loop around the village and the Wentworth Golf Club course: youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go through one covered bridge that leads to the village (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;kissing bridgeâ&#x20AC;?), and past another on the golf course. There are also shops and restaurants along the way.

This will take you past Black Mountain ski area, the Eagle Mountain House golf course, Jackson Falls (perfect for a picnic or a cooling dip on a hot day), and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community church and library.

North of the White Mountains lies the area known as the Great North Woods, a vast land of pristine beauty, with thousands of acres of undeveloped woods, lakes, rivers and streams— and one spectacular grand resort: The Balsams. charles flanders

Throughout the region, you’ll find businesses that cater to outdoor enthusiasts and offer expertise in just about every outdoor pursuit imaginable. Guide services, hunting and fishing stores, canoe and kayak outfitters, and—in the winter—snowmobile rentals are plentiful and readily available. The Great North Woods is a place where you can really get away from it all—but don’t expect to be alone. You’ll most likely catch a glimpse of the region’s most famous resident, the moose (one stretch of Rte. 3 is actually known as “Moose Alley” for the frequency of sightings on

the road). In addition, deer, bear, and eagles are certainly not uncommon. Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge near Errol is known for exceptional wildlife watching opportunities, but please keep in mind that the animals you see are wild. Exercise caution and bring a camera— with a telephoto lens! 55

Canoeing, Kayaking, Tubing, and Cruising If there’s a way to spend the day having fun on the water, it’s available in the White Mountains. Try paddling or tubing along one of the region’s rivers and streams, or cruising one of our beautiful lakes—you’ll love it!

Motorized and non-motorized boat rentals are also available for fishermen and others who wish to explore the region’s lakes, rivers and ponds. In spring, experience the thrills—and sometimes spills—of whitewater rafting; guided trips are available for all experience levels.

There are two distinct types of stream canoeing in the White Mountains. Quick-water canoeing is popular in the spring, during periods of high water, but is only recommended for experts. Canoe touring or canoeing during medium or low water periods in summer can be enjoyed by almost everyone. A number of canoe shops in the area offer rentals and guided trips, and will generally transport your canoe directly to put-ins and arrange to pick you up at trip’s end; some shops also offer canoe camping options.

When summer turns up the heat, there’s nothing better than a mountain lake, pond or stream for cooling off and getting in touch with your “inner kid.” Fortunately for kids of all ages, there are lots of places around here that fit that description. Here are a few that are favorites with both the locals and visitors to the area where you can swim, go tubing, or just splash around a bit. Enjoy!

Hiker Responsibility Code You are responsible for yourself, so be prepared:

threatening. Don’t assume you will be rescued; know how to rescue yourself. 4. To stay together. When you start as a group, hike as a group, end as a group. Pace your hike to the slowest person. 5. To leave your plans. Tell someone where you’re going, the trails you’re hiking, when you’ll return and your emergency plans. 6. To share the hiker code with others.

1. With knowledge and gear. Become selfreliant by learning about the terrain, conditions, local weather and your equipment before you start. 2. To turn back. Weather changes quickly in the mountains. Fatigue and unexpected conditions can also affect your hike. Know your limitations and when to postpone your hike. The mountains will be there another day. 3. For emergencies, even if you are headed out for just an hour. An injury, severe weather or a wrong turn could become life

Hiking with your Dog Hiking with your dog can be fun and rewarding for both of you. Before setting out with your pup, make sure your dog is healthy and fit, as well as comfortable and well-behaved around other people (especially children) and animals. Your dog will need water and food, and you should carry plastic bags to pick up after your dog. Your dog can carry its own supplies, but make sure the pack is light and balanced—no more than 1/3 of the dog’s body weight if the dog is fit, much less for a dog that’s new to hiking. Be sure the dog has I.D. on its collar; it’s also advisable to keep your dog on a leash. Start with short hikes, and check your dog’s pads often, as rough terrain can damage them. Try to have a minimum impact on the trail, wildlife and other trail users so we can all continue to enjoy hikes with our dogs. 63

At 6,288 feet, Mt. Washington is the highest mountain in northeastern North America. The native Americans called it “Agiocochook” and didn’t climb it, believing the summit to be the home of the Great Spirit. In 1524, Giovanni da Verrazano became the first European to see it, from the waters off New Hampshire’s coast, more than 100 miles away! In 1642, Darby Field became the first European settler to climb it.

climbing cog railway, was completed eight years later. When the railway’s builder, Sylvester Marsh, petitioned the NH Legislature for the right to build the railway, they were somewhat skeptical of the project’s feasibility, granting him the right to build “the railway to the moon.” Mt. Washington is justly famed for its weather extremes: the highest surface wind ever recorded there—231 miles per hour—was clocked on April 12, 1934. The Mt. Washington Observatory, founded in 1932, continues its weather monitoring and research to this day.

Today, the summit is a State Park, visited by more than a quarter million people annually. On a clear day, you can see five states—Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, and New Hampshire—and Canada.

Be sure to visit the Mt. Washington Museum at the summit, the highest museum in the East. Operated by the Observatory, it features exhibits on the mountain’s history and weather. You can also check the weather on the summit from the Observatory’s Weather Discovery Center in North Conway, or visit them online at www.mountwashington.org.

Early settlers Abel Crawford and his son, Ethan Allen Crawford, built the first footpath to the summit in 1819; today, the Crawford path is the oldest continuously maintained footpath in the United States. Ethan improved the path, making it a bridle path for horses, completing the work in 1840.

The highest temperature ever recorded on the summit was 72˚F; the lowest a frigid -47˚F (without factoring in wind chill)! Summer visitors find the summit a relief from the warmer temperatures below; in July the temperature averages 49˚F. In fall, a trip up the mountain offers spectacular views of the foliage. Whenever you visit the summit, bring extra clothing—and your binoculars and camera!

When the Mt. Washington Auto Road opened in 1861 as a carriage road, it was considered the nation’s first man-made tourist attraction. The Mount Washington Cog Railway, the world’s first mountain-

To hunt, minors must be accompanied by a licensed adult 18 years of age or older. They are required to purchase other permit types, such as bear, turkey, special deer and archery.

Fishing The clear, cold water of the White Mountains region is ideal for trout fishing; Brook, Brown, and Rainbow trout are abundant. Notable rivers and streams include the Swift River along the Kancamagus Highway, East and West Branches of the Pemigewasset, and the Saco, Ellis, Wildcat, and Ammonoosuc Rivers. Prefer lakes? Cast your line at Moore Reservoir on the Connecticut River, Big and Little Squam, Stinson, and Echo Lake; and Profile Lake (fly fishing only). The ponds, brooks and rivers of the White Mountain National Forest are also available to fishermen with a network of highways and foot trails offering roadside and backcountry access.

n Under no circumstances should you feed, tease, touch or disturb any bears.

One of the most exciting things about spending time in the White Mountains is the possibility of seeing white-tailed deer, moose, fox, bear, and other native animals. Certain areas of the White Mountain National Forest are excellent places for observing wildlife; contact the Ranger Stations (see page 68) for details.

The state’s moose population has made a dramatic recovery since the early 1900’s, when unregulated hunting and loss of forest habitat to agriculture decimated the herd. Today, moose are found throughout the state, including the White Mountains region, and are often seen in swampy or wet areas near roads. Frequent sightings are reported along the Kancamagus Highway, in Pinkham Notch, and along Rte. 26 in Dixville Notch. Moose tours are run from Gorham, Lincoln, and North Conway, as well as in the Great North Woods Region of the state. See listings on page 57.

If you do see wildlife like moose or black bear on your explorations, do be cautious, and never approach the animal. If you’re in your car and want to pull over to observe, do so carefully and remain in the car—remember: the animal is wild. Moose are especially unpredictable in their movements and when threatened may stand their ground or charge. More active at dusk and at night, they are difficult to see, so brake for moose—it could save your life.

New Hampshire Fish and Game Department carries the New Hampshire Wildlife Viewing Guide, a 96-page book by Judy K. Silverberg on 72 places in the state to watch wildlife. Contact Fish and Game, 11 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH 03301. 603-271-2461. www.wildlife.state.nh.us.

As a rule, bears stay away from people unless tempted by food. Black bears have keen hearing and a good sense of smell, and are aware of you long before you are aware of them. They can be scared away by loud noises. If you are camping, take the following precautions:

“All creatures great and small …” Wildlife sightings are common in the White Mountains, and you might reasonably expect to see moose, black bear, and birds of all shapes and sizes.

Keep a clean camp. Don’t cook or eat inside your tent— the food odors linger and attract bears. n Put food and garbage in the trunk of your car. If that’s not possible, hang both at least ten feet off the ground. n n

The 800,000-acre White Mountain National Forest is a powerful presence in the White Mountains. Adjacent to—or part of—every village and town, the National Forest ensures that this region will remain largely undeveloped. “White Mountain National Forest: Land of Many Uses” read the signs which greet you. It is a managed and multiple-use forest, providing areas for recreation and human enjoyment, as well as wildlife habitat and harvesting of the forest, a renewable resource.

The White Mountain National Forest Recreation Pass The White Mountain National Forest is one of the most heavily used National Forests in the country. With that use comes a large workload to maintain the recreation facilities. As a result, a program is in place to collect fees for recreational use. All unattended vehicles parked on National Forest land must display a Recreation Pass where signed. There are several pass options: a $3 day pass available on site, a $20 annual pass for those who use the Forest year-round, or a $5 pass good for 1 to 7 consecutive days (prices subject to change). Recreation passes are available at area businesses, USFS Information Centers, and the White Mountains Visitors Center. For those holding the America the Beautiful Pass, AccessPass, and Senior Pass, parking is free. 68

The colors of Autumn in the White Mountains are dazzling! Every year, in September and October, people travel from all over the world to view the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual display of color. Fallâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Columbus Day weekend in particularâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is an extremely popular time to visit; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to make reservations well in advance.

Fall Foliage

Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Colorful Show Have you ever wondered why leaves change color? Very few places on earth have New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique combination of fall weather, variety of tree species, and rugged terrain that makes for such spectacular â&#x20AC;&#x153;leaf peepingâ&#x20AC;?. The cooler, shorter days of September cause the green chlorophyll to disappear from the leaves; and golds, browns and yellows become the prominent leaf color of poplar, oak, beech and birch trees. Sugars are trapped in the leaves as a result of the warm days and cold nights; they bring out the reds and purples in the sugar and red maple trees. No one can predict exactly when the foliage will peakâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to Mother Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but as a rule, from the end of September thru the second week in October, you can expect peak color in the White Mountains, although sometimes, due to unusual weather conditions, colors last thru October. For a free copy of the Leaf Peeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide, visit the White Mountains Visitor Center (see page 18); call 603-745-8720 or 800-346-3687, or online at www.VisitWhiteMountains.com. 72

New Hampshire is known for a lot of things: scenic beauty and the first in the nation presidential primary come readily to mind, but something else that would be on the list of anyone who’s ever visited the state is shopping. While the fact that the state has no sales tax certainly doesn’t hurt, it’s by no means the whole story. Everyone knows about the fabulous outlets, of course, but the scope and variety of shopping opportunities tucked away in the region’s small towns and villages are one of the White Mountain’s best kept secrets. From old fashioned country stores, to a gift shop tucked into an actual covered bridge, to the cosmopolitan shopping opportunities available in national retail stores, you’ll find that shopping in the White Mountains is alive and well.

of local artisans and craftsmen. In addition, Sugar Hill is home to Harman’s Cheese Store and its aged cheddar cheese (free samples). Lincoln lends itself to leisurely “shop to shop” strolling, either along Main Street or at one of the shopping centers. And nearby North Woodstock, boasting one-of-a-kind shops, is a real New England walking town. Both towns, incidentally, also feature a number of places that are perfect for grabbing a quick bite (to keep up your strength while you browse and shop).

Downtown Littleton, for example, is a haven of unique and eclectic shops, restaurants and boutiques (not to mention the “world’s longest candy counter” at Chutter’s store), while nearby Bethlehem is a long-time favorite among antique lovers. Shops in Sugar Hill and Franconia also tempt visitors with the work

And while that area is best negotiated by car, the villages of Conway, North Conway, and Jackson are tailor-made for exploring on foot.
