Fall

Some may argue that fall is, undoubtedly, the most beautiful season in New England. Conway, New Hampshire has been ranked one of the top locations for leaf-peeping in all of New England. While peak season differs slightly each year, records show that October is most commonly the most colorful month. Depending on where you live, foliage expeditions can take a few hours or a few days, depending on how much time you want to take. Downtown Conway, New Hampshire boasts great shopping, dining and accommodations for everyone from families to honey-mooners.

Winter

Whether you love the snow or you hate it, it’s inevitable during New England’s winter months. Make the most of it by taking a trip up to one of New Hampshire’s world renowned ski resorts for skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, ice castles and much more.

Spring

As temperatures start to rise and the snow starts to melt, spring can be the ideal time to dust off those hiking boots and head north. Check out All Trails for a list of New Hampshire’s best hiking trails for all levels.
