August is the month when we all realize summer is finite and if you don’t act today, it might pass you by. Thanks to the hundreds of restaurants, hotels, shops, and attractions in the Mt. Washington Valley, it’s not too late to make plans now and grab summer at its peak. Book your lodging then bring on the fun!

August is peak (ha - get it?) hiking season. We have so many hiking options here, we’ve started a weekly list of places to explore. Written by Mountain Ponderings, these weekly recommendations can get you off the beaten track, literally.

When you come in from the trails, experience the White Mountains at one of three locations while raising funds for the NFF’s restoration and stewardship campaign at the first annual Sum.it for the Forest hiking fundraiser on August 19, 2017.
