Hey! I'm a freelance writer and guidebook author. I've authored "New Hampshire's 52 With A View - A Hiker's Guide", serve as editor of Appalachian Mountain Club's "Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide", and and am co-editor of the "White Mountain Guide", also for AMC. I'm currently beginning work on the 6th Edition of AMC's Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide, which will be published in 2025. I live in southern New Hampshire and can usually be found wandering throughout the state's mountains and forests.
There are lots of walkable communities in New Hampshire, but one that’s always hopping with things to do and see is North Conway. This all-season town draws visitors from all around due to its abundant opportunities for outdoor activities, dining, and shopping. New Hampshire Route 16, better known as the White Mountain Highway locally, is the main thoroughfare through town. Here are a few selected highlights that you can visit along this road on foot.
