Out for some fun? Whether
you're 7 or 70, our local attractions will keep you entertained and
busy all vacation long. Here are just some ideas ....
State Parks and Natural Wonders
• Mt
Washington. Rte 16
Climb to over 6,000 feet on the famous Mount
Washington Auto road (pictured) in either a mountain mini-bus
or as a self-guided tour in your own vehicle. Take your camera
for spectacular views from the summit, then tour the Observatory's
museum and buildings where you'll learn all about the infamous
weather atop our highest peak. The Observatory also maintains
an educational
weather center in North Conway - an ideal place to go on
a rainy day!
• Lost
River Gorge. Rte 112W Kinsman Notch.
Walk the boardwalks through caverns and gorges and discover a
natural wonder virtually unchanged since its formation by glacial
melting, 25,000 years ago.
• Cathedral Ledge. West Side Road, North
Conway
A granite outcrop famous among rock climbers for its technical
climbing. For those wanting to get there the easy way, take the
back road up to the parking lot and then the path through the
trees to the viewing area. Great views of North Conway and lower
valley.
