Mount Pemigewasset

Reviewed By 778tracyv - Springfield, United States

Great moderate-difficulty hike with an awesome view at the top. The trail was easy to follow but has a decent elevation change. Wear hiking boots. Pack a lunch and eat at the top while enjoying the views. Park in the upper lot at the Gorge exit and follow the bike path/trail under the highway.

This was nice hike to a beautiful waterfall. It was a little trick in parts but worth the effort. Very nice views.

Sugar Hill Scenic Vista

Reviewed By sdegroot2014 - Manchester, United States

We went to Sugar Hill and was amazed at all the beautiful colors. It's definitely worth the trip to see the fall colors along with a view of the mountains in the distant.

Pemigewasset River

Reviewed By rcampy52 - Monkton, United States

We decided to take a hike along the Pemigewasset river to see the Basin. There were many visitors along the snowy trail but we could fine our way. The river was mostly frozen over which gave the landscape an amazing view. When we approached the Basin we could see many ice sickles around the Basin. It was very pretty. Nice place to see this time of year as well as in the summer which we have been there also.

Betty and Barney Hill Incident Historical Marker

Reviewed By AudEE698 - Grafton, United States

We were staying in the area to visit the ice castles and despite it being ski season, there isn't a lot open for non-skiers to do. I had read about the Betty & Barney Hill Mural tribute to their first reported alien abduction in 1961 on the app Roadside America (which gives you offbeat & odd roadside attractions where you are), so we went looking for it. We got a kick out of seeing the mural and reading all the old newspaper articles that are in the the gas station! You can also commemorate your visit with the purchase of an alien tee shirt. While we did enjoy the trip due to the lack of things open in the winter season, I suspect the busy summer/fall season there would be much more worthwhile things to do, so I wouldn't recommend making a special trip during those seasons. But if you are looking for something, it's definitely odd!!
