The White Mountains are one of the most fun areas to explore while you’re in the Granite State. Whether you like hiking on trails or kayaking the waterways, the region offers fun throughout the year.  And it appeals to a variety of people. You can certainly explore it on your own, but we love the idea of this outdoor center that offers fun activities throughout the year to help you make the most of your visit!

The more time we spend with friends and family the more we realize just how diverse our interests are. And that’s a good thing! Our differences mean that we have a lot of great reasons to try new things and experience parts of the state we might not otherwise see. And that’s why we love Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center in Gorham.

You’ll find it at the base of the Mt. Washington Auto Road and it offers a ton of ways to enjoy the great outdoors right here in the White Mountains.

And what we love most is that they welcome visitors throughout the year. Come in the summer for warm weather fun, visit in the fall for that gorgeous New Hampshire foliage or, check it out when it’s cold for unique activities you won’t find anywhere else.

One extra-special attraction is the Mt. Washington SnowCoach, which takes visitors to the treeline of the Auto Road to experience the best views on the snowiest peak.
