Those of us who cannot resist feeding the migrating birds passing through are also wise enough to bring the feeders in every night–until we decide that bears are no longer a problem.

The Snow Coach that climbs the Auto Road up Mount Washington is located at the Great Glen Trails in Pinkham Notch, NH. You can ride nearly to the peak of New England’s famous mount and from there you can ride the Coach back down or leave its warmth to snowshoe or ski to the Great Glen Trails.
You can cross country ski or snowshoe on the Trails all day long and finish your day with tubing or scaling the 25-foot climbing wall that offers stupendous views of the White Mountains.
A la carte activities are reasonably priced at $10 for all day tubing and $5 each climb on the wall or $40 for a 10X punch card. |
