Activities in Mt. Washington Valley

Monday, May 17th, 2010

It never stops here in the Valley.  As the temperature warms up so does the excitement.  Take a look at this view of the snow-capped Presidential mountain range.  I took this photo on a hike we took today.  While you enjoy your stay at the Stonehurst Manor, get ready for your day bright and early because there is so much to do that you may not make it back until dinner time!  Which is quite all right because delicious and unique New England cuisine will be waiting for you after a long hiking trip.

Right now, as you think about taking time off, make sure you know the activities that are available during the season of your travel.  Activities in Mt. Washington Valley are numerous and local businesses and non-profits have come up with some great ideas to entertain you.  Coming up, look out for Scotland in the Valley, which comes complete with a whiskey tasting.  The Balloon Festival is great opportunity to get a hot air balloon ride.

Activities in Mt. Washington Valley can also be found in the woods through hiking or on the green with the Valley’s many beautiful golf courses.  Art museums and lakes or bike paths and the old Victorian train station in the middle of Schouler Park all offer different ways to experience North Conway.

When you walk out of the Stonehurst Manor, you have so many options of something to do.  With the White Mountains as our playground there is anything to fit your needs or interests.  Or if you don’t feel like going out, you can always stay in!  With Stonehurst’s beautiful décor, welcoming fireplaces, vibrant gardens and cozy rooms you won’t find yourself bored on their grounds either!

Call the friendly staff at the Stonehurst to let us tell you what is going on for Activities in Mt. Washington Valley.  Check out our website as well to learn all about what makes us such a great place to stay!

BWoodsCanopyTour09     BWoodsCanopyPlatform

Thrill seekers and adventurous nature lovers alike will NEVER forget the Canopy Tour at Bretton Woods! It’s the longest tree-top zip line tour in New England at 3.5 hours and well worth every minute. You descend over 1,000 feet in elevation on dual-cables (very safe) between a series of platforms with hiking trails and suspension bridges as connectors. Adventure Guides accompany you all the way and describe the surrounding area, its natural history and other White Mountains lore. Less adventurous but “what the heck” types may want to try their 20-minute Williwaw Dual Racing Zip to get a sampling of what it’s all about. Laughing while you scream is part of the fun! Click above for details about reservations and rates, what to bring, etc.

Amazing Conway Scenic Railroad Trips

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

North Conway Attractions

If you want to get "up close and personal" with the White Mountains, take a trip through Crawford Notch on Conway Scenic Railroad’s "Notch Train".  It’s a 5+ hour round-trip ride leaving the center of North Conway Village at 11:00 am several days a week in summer and fall and WELL worth the time. The views are beyond sensational… what you don’t see on the way up, you’ll see on the way back! There’s a snack bar on board but box lunches are also available if ordered with your reservation. Click on the link above for details!

You can also take trips on the "Valley Trains" that go from the North Conway Station to Conway Village or Bartlett Village. They are shorter excursions and can be fit in before or after lunch, shopping or any other activity. 

VOUCHERS FOR THE CONWAY SCENIC RAILROAD available at the Front Desk. Be sure to ask!
