Got Moose?

We just spent a week in the White Mountains (Northeast corner of New Hampshire near North Conway) with Briar, Gus and the Kids.

Our normal route there and back takes us East from Lincoln over the Kancamagus Pass. On our way in, we encountered a moose just east of the pass. This is only our second moose siting since moving back here but we at least got some pictures this time.

Our 1st full day there, Sunday, we took a hike up to Ripley Falls in the morning. In the afternoon, Briar, Gus and the kids went to Santa's Village while we stayed behind (admission at most of the parks in the area include a couple of hours before closing on one day and then another full day).

On the trail up to the falls.

Monday, we all went on a 3 hour, 3 mile tubing trip that took us right up to the Maine state line. The route included several rapids that left us with some bruised tailbones.

Tuesday, we all went for a couple of hikes in the morning. Then, while Briar and Gus went to lunch and shopping, Kristen and I took the kids to Lunch and Miniature Golf. It was unbelievably hot and humid and we all got home before the rain started.

Wednesday, everyone went back to Santa's Village so Kristen and I had lunch in North Conway and checked out the shops and outlet stores.

Thursday morning, we all hiked to the top of Blackcap Mountain (something that we always do once or twice). In the afternoon, we hiked into Diana's Baths (a long series of falls and pools) and went wading.

Friday morning, we all went up to Wildcat Mountain Ski Resort where Kristen, Briar and I rode the zip lines. After lunch, we headed over to the Attitash Mountain Ski Resort where Niko and I rode the Mountain Coaster and Briar and Maya rode the Alpine Slide. In the evening, we celebrated our last night there and all went out to dinner.

I didn't get pictures of many of these events so I'm including a link to Briar's montage that, I'm sure, includes everything (but no moose!).
