"Take a hike" Top 5 Page for this destination North Conway Things to Do Tip by 850prc

A couple of my VT friends already know of my love affair with walking. I'm one of those psychos who wears a pedometer and keeps a record of my steps. My goals have changed (increased) over the years, and by the end of 2010, I will have logged about 7 million steps. (My original goal 7 years ago was five million steps) Anyway, I love to walk and hike... and among the more interesting and pleasurable steps I've done this year were hiking in and around North Conway, NH.

In general, if walking is your thing, you'll find a cache of country roads strewn with covered bridges and such. There are also marked (some marked better than others) hiking trails of varying grades on the nearby national and state forest lands. AND, a lot of the more rural inns and properties have "trails" that they've laid out for morning and afternoon quiet walks. I highly recommend that you engage in this trail behavior, it's very good for the soul.

Oh, DO be careful on some of the national forest trails. The Boulder Loop Trail that we did, just off the Kankamagus Highway, had a lot of loose rocks of "just the right size" for stumbling. So, watch your step as they say....and good luck finding those badly faded little yellow splotches of paint that supposedly mark THAT trail.
