The White Mountains region is a haven for outdoor activities and winter sports. Be sure to visit the famous Mount Washington, part of the Appalachian Trail and home to the Bretton Woods Ski Resort. Several other ski hills are located in the White Mountains, and with so many convenient accommodations in the area, skiing and snowboarding vacations are made easy. When the snow melts in the spring and summer, the mountains provide exceptional hiking and mountain biking opportunities. The city of Glen plays host to water activities such as kayaking, canoeing and boat tours. The White Mountains boast major family attractions as well, allowing visitors to explore the region's natural beauty in fun and exciting ways. Cannon Aerial Tramway, Conway Scenic Railroad, Wildcat Mountain Gondola and Hobo Railroad are great avenues for touring the countryside, while Lost River Gorge & Boulder Caves and Polar Caves Park offer up-close encounters with the area's natural features.
