by ElaineCatherine

Yea, some people do actually say "Ayuh" - Ive been known to say it myself from time to time.

Please dont tease us New Hampshire-ites because of the way we talk! I know it's tempting though!

In the Mt. Washington Valley there's North Conway!

by RhondaRuth

"Driving Route 16 thru Town ..."

The traffic can be horrendous by afternoon. Slip thru in the early morning hours if you can. But if you're there for the shopping, find a parking spot and WALK! Lot's of good shopping and it's all tax free!

Thinking of hiking? Skiing? Biking? Snowshoeing? Shopping? Sightseeing? You can do all of this and more in North Conway!

"The views from just driving thru town can be"

fantastic even on a cloudy day like we had. The following day was sunny enough to take a drive on the Kangamagus Highway. Most restaurants here are VERY good and hard to find a bad one. Well my theory is: if there are lot's of cars in the parking lot, there MUST be good food being served there!

"Visit the Pumpkin People!"

North Conway, Jackson and Bartlett put out Pumpkin People displays. What fun! It started in Jackson and has become a friendly compatition with the local establishments in the surrounding area towns. See my travel log for the ones I had time to stop and take pictures of.

"After a short break at the Crawford Notch Depot,"

we head North to the town of Fabyan.

"Passing a beautiful church that even"

Presidents & their wives have attended.

"More color entering the Town of Fabyan"

"We watch the Engine being brought around to"

pull us back to North Conway. We all trade sides in the coach cars so that we get to see the views on the other side of the train on our way back. That's great because we all get to see the views from both sides.

"View the Valley on the way back to"

North Conway.

"An old stone Church"

"Mt. Washington Hotel & Resort"

I got many pictures of the most beautiful view of this very popular hotel. The train stop each car at the best spot for pictures.

A grand masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance architecture, The Mount Washington Hotel was a two-year labor of love for 250 master craftsmen. Conceived by industrialist Joseph Stickney, this National Historic Landmark opened in 1902 and immediately became a favorite summer haunt for poets, presidents and princes.
