England winter experience with scenic trails, fresh snow, and a cozy lodge vibe. Here are a few great options for a day trip: | |
1. Waterville Valley, NH | |
Why?: Beautiful trails, good snow coverage, and a friendly rental shop. | |
Drive Time: ~2 hours from Boston. | |
Rental & Trails: Waterville Valley Adventure Center offers snowshoe rentals and well-marked trails through the White Mountain National Forest. | |
Bonus: A small village area with shops, cafés, and a warm après-snowshoeing atmosphere. | |
2. North Conway, NH (Great Glen Trails) | |
Why?: Stunning views of Mt. Washington and groomed trails. | |
Drive Time: ~2.5 hours. | |
Rental & Trails: Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center has rentals and both easy and challenging trails. | |
Bonus: You can take them on a scenic drive up the Mount Washington Auto Road (if it's open for winter tours). | |
3. Weston Ski Track (Closest Option) | |
Why?: If you want a more relaxed outing closer to Boston. | |
Drive Time: ~30 minutes. | |
Rental & Trails: Rentals available, easy beginner-friendly trails. | |
Bonus: Good if the group just wants a short snowshoe experience without a long drive. | |
4. Franconia Notch, NH | |
Why?: One of the most beautiful winter landscapes in New England. | |
Drive Time: ~2 hours. | |
Rental & Trails: The Loon Mountain Adventure Center rents snowshoes, and the Franconia Notch trails are breathtaking. | |
Bonus: Stop by the Flume Gorge for an epic winter wonderland experience. | |
5. Bretton Woods, NH | |
Why?: Luxury lodge vibes with great snowshoe trails. | |
Drive Time: ~2.5 hours. | |
Rental & Trails: Bretton Woods Nordic Center rents snowshoes, and the trails go through scenic forests with views of the Presidential Range. | |
Bonus: The Omni Mount Washington Resort is nearby for a fancy hot chocolate experience. | |
If they’re up for a full winter adventure, I'd say Great Glen Trails or Waterville Valley would be the best bet for a mix of scenery, rentals, and fun. If they prefer a shorter drive, Weston Ski Track is a great intro to snowshoeing. |
