The Treetop Trail That Will Show You A Side Of New Hampshire You’ve Never Seen Before

The beauty of New Hampshire is on display throughout the year, but as you can probably guess we’re slightly partial to fall. With the autumn leaves changing and the temperature dipping, there’s something extra special about being outside in nature. We’ve been rounding up as many outdoor activities as we can lately, but this one is something a bit different than your typical hiking trip. A canopy tour in New Hampshire might be just the thing to make this fall a bit more unique.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Hidden among the trees at Bretton Woods at the Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, this canopy tour is truly something special.

The company is committed to being environmentally sustainable, which is they all the wood used in the platforms is locally harvested.
You'll begin at Base Camp by being outfitted with your harness and safety gear. You'll go through a safety training and have the chance to ask questions. From here, you'll head up the mountain!

Each three hour canopy tour features nine zip lines, ranging from 120 - 830 feet in length, two sky bridges and 16 tree platforms.

And, each journey consists of only only 8 people at a time, which means visitors have personalized attention and lots of one-on-one time to ask questions of their guides.

With the time spent on each platform, guides educate their groups about the trees, animals and geology of the area.

The course is open to everyone over the age of 12, with a 4'6" height requirement.

And they're open all year, meaning you'll have the chance to see this area in a number of different seasons.
