New Hampshire's White Mountains are jam packed with attractions. Scenic roads make driving between them a delight. Trundle along Conway's Scenic Railroad and Mount Washington Cog Railway, sally upwards on the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tram and Loon Mountain Skyride, plunge down in Polar Caves Park and Flume Gorge, and reach top speeds at Attitash ski resort and summer playground. Offering a wealth of outdoors wonders both in winter and summer, the White Mountains are a thrill for all seasons.

Flume Gorge trail is temporarily closed for hiking until May 10, 2019 An 800-foot gorge that extends from the base of Mount Liberty. It is open from May 8 - October 25.

5 of us did the flume gorge hike which includes the "pool", "avalanche falls", "liberty gorge" and "flume gorge" all along about a 2 or 2.5 mile hike. You can take a bus to bypass parts of it on the way up. It's a lot of uphill walking and the flume gorge part has a lot up stairs going up. The sights are really magnificent and worth seeing.

An 800-foot cliff for climbing that is located in the White Mountains.
Reviewed By josephbU5018VU - Conway, United States
You must do it. Incredible views looking over the White Mtns and across the valley to the Town of Conway, NH There is an auto road choice over climbing the back side of the trail to the top of the White Horse Ledge During the Summer rock climbers come up the ledge right in front of you as you are viewing from the top. Highly recommend this climb for a family. It is well worth the effort.

A rock cliff that is popular with climbers.

After viewing the ledge from Echo lake we took the short drive up to the ledge. It was a beautiful clear day - views were beautiful, mountains in the distance, Echo lake from the top, rock climbers making their way up.

This 20-foot-wide natural granite abyss is probably one of the largest "potholes" you've ever seen.

Dos and dont’s - DO expect a beautiful, serene, calm trail that is well marked, and an overall easy walk. Paved in some parts. Great for kids, families, and those that love beautiful water, waterholes and picturesque views. DONT expect a difficult hike or climb up the side of a mountain. DO expect plenty of ‘gram moments. The scenery is gorgeous and plenty of picnic and chill out spots. We spent a couple hours meandering there and it was wonderful!

A fascinating little side trip if you’re planning on driving The Kanc. At 4662 tons, 87 feet long and 37 feet high, to say this thing is huge is a tad underwhelming lol. There’s a little parking area that was virtually empty on my visit - me and one other couple were there. To get to it, you have to drive a very bumpy dirt road so if you have a low vehicle, be really slow and careful ....had some large, deep potholes and wash boarding! The car behind me didn’t even dare it and turned around lol! Trust me, it’s worth it tho! There’s a short, flat hike to get to the boulder after you park - it’s so lovely and peaceful! And during October, the vibrant fall colors make it a marvelous wonderland to meander through! Some of the path is paved and some isn’t - mostly just soft, dark dirt. Once you reach the boulder, the sheer size will have you in awe! There’s plenty of pathway to walk around it and take photos etc. There are a couple of signs around with info about the boulder. There are no bathrooms and the cell/internet signal is non-existent so plan accordingly!

Enjoyed hiking to the top of Black Cap Mountain. This is a short hike with moderate elevation, about 2.2 miles round trip. We did not get to see the views from the top as it was fogged in but we totally enjoyed this hike in the White Mountains and would recommend it to others.

Formerly New Hampshire's best known landmark, this rock formation resembling a man's profile collapsed on May 3, 2003.
Reviewed By mimibev
It's kind of a memorial to the old man. The plaza includes seven profilers, which allow visitors to view the image of the Old Man back on the side of Cannon Mountain it is an amazingly clever way to see what once was there
