Mt Washington Auto Road New Hampshire

Mt Washington Views with Bartlett Innkeepers in NH Foliage NH

What better than a sunny September day to take The Bartlett Inn’s Summer Employee (Ozgur from Turkey!) on a sight seeing day and where better than for a ride up the Mt Washington Auto Road in Pinkham Notch NH. We like the sign that says not a good road to drive if you have a fear of heights at the beginning of the road! A little frightened we put the truck into 1st gear and went for it! What can we say…spectacular views at every turn and the top too! We enjoyed lunch at the canteen and the museum in the bottom of the observatory. One perk of driving up is that you are not limited by the time of the returning coach or cog train. There are many hikes that can be done from the top too! On teh way back to the Bartlett Inn there is nice short hike to Glen Ellis Falls off Route 16 .

Hiking Mount Washington New Hampshire Presidential Mountain Range

Posted on October 14, 2011 by admin

Mt Washington Summit NH Bartlett Innkeepers Did it!!

Mount Washington is the highest peak in the North Eastern United States at 6233 Feet. Climbers often train here to climb Mt Everest as it is the closest simulation to the weather conditions on the highest peak in the world! We trained for 2 weeks climbing peaks like Mt Tremont and found the muscle memory took hold. We were less sore after Mt Washington than after Mt Tremont. Loved the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail accessible next to the Cog Railroad Base Station. Beautiful river pools, cascades and

Mimi descending Mt Washington Jewel Trail Great Gulf Wilderness NH Views

waterfalls. Spectacular Views on the 2nd half of the trail. Nice challenging steepness and rock climbing but not impossible. At the the top of the trail are the Lakes in the Clouds…2 small mountain ponds which are crystal clear and beautiful! And best of all we saw no other humans on the trail! I love the pure nature experience. It took another hour to summit Mt Washington from the Lakes of the Clouds following the cairns (piles of rocks about 3 feet tall that help mark where the trail is since the top of Mt Washington is all boulders and scree with no obvious trail) through the scree and boulders. This is a fun challenge as there are many trail intersections but nothing obvious because of the 100% rocks so it is a game to follow the signs and the cairns. We picked a top 10 day for this hike as the view was about 100 miles crystal clear and the weather about 70 degrees and 60 at the top. We took the Jewel trail down and I hated the footing; as you got off the boulders at the top the trail turns into a small shifty rolly ankle breaking watch every step mine field for 70 % of the way down. I was told this was the easy trail down but think I will return via Ammonoosuc next time!. Saying that the views into the Great Gulf Wilderness and the very obvious marked changes at each altitude and flora and fauna and terrain were very interesting. The bottom of Jewel trail was closed and of course curiosity and tiredness got the best of us…so we walked on to find the bridge was washed out by Irene…so if you are not up for a long jump across the brook take the long way down. Great hike, beautiful day and a wonderful accomplishment to be able to say I climbed Mt Washington after living in her shadows for 9 years! Stay at the Bartlett Inn NH just 20 minutes to either notch to climb MtWashington. Guests enjoy a yummy breakfast and good hiking advice whatever trail you choose!

Hiking Mt Tremont in New Hampshire’s Crawford Notch

Posted on September 26, 2011 by admin

Stony Brook Waterfalls Mt Tremont Trail NHBartlett Innkeeper on Mt Tremont NH Summit

Mt Tremont Trail can be accessed approximately 2 miles east of the Bartlet Inn Bed and Breakfast on US Route 302. Mt Tremont is 3371 Feet. My husband Nick, innkeeper and avid hiker, and I – not so avid hiker, did this hike in about 3.25 hours. I was nervous about so much altitude but found this a great hike. It was very difficult in that the trail is very rocky, uneven and strewn with tree roots. Put that on a incline and it does make for a slippery climb with challenging footing. Saying that, I love that the first third of the hike as the trail travels along Stony Brook which has endless beautiful waterfall cascades and clear pools and river running over sheets of granite; Just beautiful and a great distraction. The second 2/3 of the trail are relatively steep but the foliage was beautiful and there were sections of the trail that were red and then yellow. Towards the last third of the climb you pass through a section of trail with trees and exposed roots that makes you feel like you are traveling through a hobbit colony! One can get glimpses of Mt Washington and Crawford Notch and I imagine as the foliage drops from the trees the views grow en route. From the top the views are spectacular looking down at Sawyer Ponds below as well as Greens Cliff and Bear Notch Road and the Kancamagus Highway. The footing down was pretty hard on the feet. We found the hiking poles a great help on the descent giving us stability climbing down the steep slippery rocky trail. This was a great hike if you enjoy beautiful New Hampshire waterfalls and incredible views and do not mind a challenging trail. For anyone just interested in waterfalls you could do the first section of the trail only and really have a nice easier hike! Any questions call The Bartlett Inn who offer trail advice to all their guests. We help you find the best hike for what challenge you are up for and interests you have. Call 800 292 2353 For More Pictures of our hikes check out our Face book posts. Hiked 9/21/11

Wildcat New Hampshire Gondola and Zip Line is a fun family day out!

Posted on September 2, 2011 by admin

Wildcat NH view to Tuckermans Ravine Mt Washington NH

Ride the Wildcat Gondola to the top of Wildcat Ski NH Mountain and stay at the Bartlett Inn hotel close to North Conway NH. The views are as spectacular in summer as they are in winter. We even saw a large bull moose on the Gondola ride laying just under the! At the top there are several hikes short or long you can do and they give you access to even more views! WE made it tot the very summit of Wildcat where there is a lookout platform…spectacular looking into Tuckerman Ravine and Huntington Ravine on Mt Washington NH across Pinkham Notch.

The Wildcat zip line is quite long and a real thrill! The only drawback is that you have to weigh about 70 lbs to ride and so our 7 year old was not able to try it. Maybe next year! Stay at the Bartlett Inn Bed and Breakfast and Cottages and then enjoy a beautiful scenic short drive to Wildcat. The innkeeper will give you some tips for hikes along the way and you can even get lunch at the mountain! Call 1 800 292 2353. Did we mention that you can bring your dog with you on the tram!! As long as they don’t suffer from vertigo!
