... a roaring campfire and a huge bag of marshmallows ...
... the tickling scent of evergreens and alpine flowers on a mountain breeze ...
... a quiet walk on a wooded trail ...
... seeing a moose ...
... being a child again ...
... Summer is the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
We like to say we invented summer. That’s because these mountains have, for generations, drawn visitors in search of adventure and inspiration, legendary hospitality and stark beauty.
Perhaps that’s why the road north seems so familiar, whether you have been here once or a thousand times. Times, of course, have changed, but many places you remember are still here and you can share them with your children, as your parents likely shared them with you.
The White Mountains has 16 family attractions comfortably close enough that you can visit a couple in a day or all of them over the course of your vacation. This is a place where you can spend the day hiking a trail and the evening dressed up for dinner in an historic inn or venerable grand hotel. You can mosey around small towns and villages in the afternoon and go moose watching at sundown, or you can simply be mesmerized by the play of summer sun and shadows chasing each other across the steep slopes of our beautiful mountains.
As you make plans for your summer vacation, be sure to plan to spend some time with us.
