New Hampshire & Mt. Washington

We left Vermont in the late afternoon and arrived at our campground in Twin Mountain NH in time to get set up and eat some dinner.  This morning we did a circle drive past Bretton Woods, through White Mountain National Forest, Crawford Notch State Park, Attitash Ski Area, and on back to the campground.  We stopped at Arethusa Falls hoping to catch a glimpse - until we saw the sign: one hour hike one way.  

Bretton Woods - famous in the 40s and beyond...

Crawford Notch



Just cannot do that hike these days.

The reason for our stop in Twin Rivers was to take the COG Steam Engine Train up Mt. Washington (6288 feet).  What  a great trip it was!  It seemed a bit slow going up but the scenery was amazing - including the wildlife: hikers!  At the top one is treated to a view of five states plus Canada on a clear day and we picked a really clear day.

Too many photos to post all.  It is an amazing trip - better than driving because you can see more!

Next stop: Maine
