Crawford Notch Campground: out in the boonies....., Bartlett

 davecallahan Says:  "Hey dad what kinda deer is that".... "that ain't no deer, that's a darn moose".That kind of summarizes the great type of experience we had at this backwoods (yet still near route 302) camp grounds. No pre-gridded campsites just wherever; no electric; relieve yourself in the...

Riding on Bear Notch Road to Bartlett

Have you noticed the traffic on Route 16 running through North Conway Village & Conway? Unless you intend to stop and shop along the way, it's no fun getting through the heavy traffic if you're trying to get over to the Kancamagus Highway. SOOoooo, there's a shortcut ... from Bartlett on Route 302 .... turn onto Bear Notch Road * and it will come out at the Kancamagus. It also has a couple of beautiful viewing points to stop at along the way.

Bear Notch Road may be closed in the winter.
