Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές ποδηλασίας δρόμου στο Νιου Χάμσαϊρ

You want to ride this trail on a weekday as it is too crowded with pedestrians during weekends. Nice trail!

This remarkable 7.6-mile climb, accessible to cyclists only twice each year, commences in the town of Glen House. From there, the Mt. Washington Auto Road winds its way upward like a a two-lane ribbon. As you climb, you pass through forests and ultimately above the treeline. The views will pay you back when you reach the 6,288-foot summit of Mt. Washington!

Right off the Londonderry Rail Trail, Hood Park is a great place for a break. Right next to Hoods Pond, there is a beach facing the water so you can sit and take in the views. There are also some nice trails around the pond that are open to the public.

Washington is the most prominent mountain in the eastern U.S. and an absolutely incredible peak to bag. This is easily one of the best summits in New England. It is also the most dangerous if you come unprepared, especially in the winter. Washington creates its own rapidly changing weather system and is known for being the deadliest small mountain in the world. The second-fastest wind speed on earth was recorded here at over 230mph. That said, a quarter million people visit Washington every year, and if you come prepared and respect the mountain you have nothing to fear and are guaranteed to have an epic summit.

Hardly any vehicles in the huge parking lot: too foggy today.

Definitely worth a visit: museums, historic buildings, Black Heritage Trail, restaurants, shops, ...

Dress warmly. Snow season begins July 1 and ends June 30. We were at 68 mph at the summit. Keeping your hat on is a good idea. Two days ago, when we were last up there, it was 73 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind was blowing lightly around 23 mph. Mt. Washington is the highest peak within 1,000 miles, making it an exposed location with what the US Weather Service calls the worst and most surprising weather in the world.

Child's Pond is a kettle pond, created by a chunk of ice that broke off a glacier and slowly melted here. Nowadays the pond is replenished by groundwater and runoff — not by the surprisingly close-by Connecticut River. There is only one type of fish here — bullheads — but this little pond is considered a real birding hot spot.
