In the Mt. Washington Valley there's North Conway!

by RhondaRuth - last update: Jun 11, 2004

Driving Route 16 thru Town ...

Driving thru North Conway
The traffic can be horrendous by afternoon. Slip thru in the early morning hours if you can. But if you're there for the shopping, find a parking spot and WALK! Lot's of good shopping and it's all tax free!

Thinking of hiking? Skiing? Biking? Snowshoeing? Shopping? Sightseeing? You can do all of this and more in North Conway!

The views from just driving thru town can be

fantastic even on a cloudy day like we had. The following day was sunny enough to take a drive on the Kangamagus Highway. Most restaurants here are VERY good and hard to find a bad one. Well my theory is: if there are lot's of cars in the parking lot, there MUST be good food being served there!
visit the pumpkin people

Visit the Pumpkin People!

North Conway, Jackson and Bartlett put out Pumpkin People displays. What fun! It started in Jackson and has become a friendly compatition with the local establishments in the surrounding area towns. See my travel log for the ones I had time to stop and take pictures of.

 Kancamangus is the greatest "swimming hole" ever, besides providing wonderful foliage in the fall. But what about the North Conway tourist trap (the outlets...)
