Activities Abound On Luxury Mountain Getaways Nh

By Marla Mills


It is a wonderful one or two week period when we are going away from our jobs and familiar surroundings. We plan all year for what we want to do while we have the time. We want to stay in a beautiful place with fun things to do in between relaxing. There are luxury mountain getaways nh that can offer both.

Stay in a busy modern hotel with pools and restaurants. Or, you may prefer a quiet little bed and breakfast place where the owners tell stories about the area. Reserve your room ahead of time to ensure getting one with a good view because the area offers lovely vistas of trees and wildflowers.

When you arrive you can spend time resting on the porch to view the scenery and watch the birds singing in the trees. Tomorrow you can wake up refreshed and ready to participate in all the activities available. Other things to do are visit small towns and take shopping excursions for some unique souvenirs.

A hike may include stopping for a picnic lunch in a quiet glen. Mount Washington Valley offers lovely hiking trails with a wonderful view all around. Drive around the area and visit interesting towns and shopping venues.

One way to enjoy Mother Nature is hiking on mountain trails. The state of New Hampshire has so much to offer. There is everything to see in the 780,000 acres of the White Mountain National Forest. You can rent a bike to ride the winding roads.

There are many waterways, lakes, streams and rivers where you can kayak or go canoeing. During the winter, there is snowmobiling on the Corridor 19 trail that winds through New Hampshire on its way to Canada. There is skiing, both downhill and cross country as well.

You can ice skate winter or summer because there are indoor rinks as well as outdoor ones. Enjoy golf from Spring through summer and into autumn. There are a number of scenic courses.

There are quaint little shops and restaurants in all price ranges, from fine dining, to family style to fast food places. Shopping is fun and you will find souvenirs to take home for everyone. Outlet malls offer some famous brands in clothing for sale.

Take the little ones to Story Land, where you will find Cinderella and other fairy tale characters. They will also enjoy Santas Village that is open year around, and Six Gun Village a salty old ghost town.

Those daring teens will love water slides, skylift rides and the Observation Deck. Nothing is more enjoyable than riding a horse along the trails in the mountains. A ride on the authentic Old Steam Powered Cog Train known to be the first mountain climbing railway ever built.

There are four ways to reach the summit of Mount Washington. Ride a horse or bike. Drive a car or enjoy the train ride that takes you there. Some tourists who consider luxury mountain getaways nh the optimal vacation like to try all four modes of transportation.
