Travel to New Hampshire

When you travel to New Hampshire you have almost an endless amount of outdoor activities to pursue. It is truly a great place to vacation to. We have picked out some of our favorite outdoor activities that we have done on our New Hampshire vacations.

We love to hike everywhere we vacation to, when we travel we always plan on at least having one outdoor nature hike. A vast number of hiking trails to choose from is one of the many reasons we like to travel to New Hampshire.

One we especially like and have done several times is hiking to Mt. Choucora. The trail is called Champney falls trail and it is extremely peaceful and quiet. It takes about half a day to hike and we like to have lunch by the falls. We have had lunch on top as well but it gets pretty windy. It is not a strenuous hike but it is very beautiful.

On our last New Hampshire vacation we went up the Jewell trail to the Mt. Washington summit. We had my niece and nephew along and they made the hike just fine. We enjoyed the cog railway and took it down the mountain. It was great weather when we took that trip but I have heard that if the weather is bad you may want to make other travel plans.

If you are pressed for time on your vacation you may want to hike the Mt. Fayal Trail it only takes about an hour and their is a beautiful lookout onto Squam Lake.

We have also enjoyed the Odiorne State Park area. It is a great place for kids and usually plan our vacations to include a stop here.

We also like to ski and New Hampshire has some great slopes. Our favorite places to ski are Black Mountain and Attitash Bear Peak. Both offer good skiing for beginners and experts. We fall in between there and have loved every ski vacation that we have taken to either place.

Planning to take in a canoe trip down the Connecticut river while you are on your New Hampshire vacation would be a great idea. We have done that several times on our travels through the area and while there is not a lot of rapids there are enough to keep it exciting enough for us.
