Fun things to do in the summer (a brief sample):
Story Land
Hiking. There are endless possibilities, from easy dayhikes to serious backpacking. Pinkham Notch (location of trailheads for Mount Washington and nearby hikes) is a 15-minute drive away.
Paddling or floating the Saco River.
Rock climbing and scrambling at Cathedral Ledge.
Great local swimming holes, with or without waterfalls.
Alpine Slide, Mountain Coaster, and water slides at Attitash Mountain.
Story Land, for the under-12s:
Outlet shopping (if you like that sort of thing).
For the train buffs, Conway Scenic Railroad or Mount Washington Cog Railway.
Hanging out in the back yard, drinking beer and maybe eating lobster (if you like that sort of thing).
