It’s winter in New Hampshire, but that doesn’t have to mean spending all your time inside. In fact, this is the best time of year to get out there! There’s nothing like a snow-covered natural landscape and seeing the Granite State decked out in it’s finery is what we love best about living here. To see it in a way you might not be expecting, take this fun trip.

When considering things to keep you busy this winter, you might want to re-consider the idea that you need to stay hunkered inside reading books. Instead, head to Bretton Woods at the Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods for a canopy tour that will put you up close and personal with some of the best New Hampshire sights you can find.

Here you’ll find a wonderful network of zip lines, sky bridges and platforms allowing visitors to experience the area from high in the trees.

We love that the tours here are all environmentally sustainable, which you can see in the fact that they use locally harvested wood in all of their platforms.
To see what this is all about, you’ll begin at Base Camp. First order of business is being decked out with a harness and safety gear by professionals.
