Our first day at North Woodstock, NH, we decided to drive the Kancamagus Highway into the White Mountains of NH. We decided to stop at the Loon Mountain Resort, located just outside of Lincoln, NH. |
Well I stood there too long and could not run and jump. You could sit and jump, which was what I ended up doing. |
You are told to keep your feet up for the landing on the other side. I guess I kept my feet up the whole time. |
Our next stop was at Pemigewasset overlook. |
On a clear day you are suppose to see for miles. |
As you can see it was not a clear day. |
This overlook is almost to the summit. We came up here another day that was much clearer. You will see the difference. |
We decided not to make anymore viewing stops, that day and just drive to the town of North Conway. |
North Conway is north of Conway. It has a population of 2, 349. It sits in a bowl with mountains all around it. |
North Conway is a year round resort area. |
We brought Mallery this day because we knew we would be just sight seeing. |
The yellow house across the street was built in the 1800's. |
When we walked by it earlier, I had forgot my camera. |
The town had many little shops and was very busy with tourist. |
This is a view of the train station in North Conway. A Ben & Jerry's Shop is to the right of the railroad station, if you like to get flavors that are only in the Ice Cream Shops. |
A close up of previous picture. The train goes to the Crawford Notch area of the White Mountains National Forest, on it's longest run. |
After our visit to North Conway, we decide to check out Conway Lake. We found a road that took us around part of the lake. |
Joe spotted a place where we could walk from the road to the lake, to get a view. |
Conway Lake is very clear as you can see. It is 4 miles long and 1 1/2 miles wide. It covers1299 acres, and the inflow comes from Snow Brook. |
A look back at our short hike through the woods from our car. There was a path all ready here for someones canoe. |
The lake has one small public beach |
From the public beach the lake looks smaller than it is. |
