The One Walk Above The Trees In New Hampshire That’s Beautiful Any Time Of Year
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.
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.
Canopy tours run for about three hours and include nine zip lines, ranging from 120 - 830 feet in length, as well as two sky bridges and 16 tree platforms.
And, even the down time is fun here. While you’re waiting for your turn you’ll spend time on scenic platforms where guides educate their groups about the trees, animals and geology of the area.
The Bretton Woods Canopy Tour is located at 99 Ski Area Rd., Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. They’re open year round, but occasionally are forced to cancel tours due to weather or other circumstances. Call ahead before you go, just to be sure! If you’re staying at the resort, the cost is $99. If you’re coming just for the day, the cost is $110. For more information check out their website. Or, call them on (800) 314-1752 or (603) 278-1000 to ask specific questions and to make a reservation. You can also book online by clicking here.
