Western White Mou Lincoln/Woodstock

Welcome to the Lincoln/North Woodstock area, where there is something to do – indoors or in the great outdoors – every summer. Hiking and bicycling trails….dining choices… nighttime entertainment…trendy shops and mountain scenery are all reasons to visit the towns. In 1764, this area of the mountains was granted to settlers. It was a wild, remote region and it took time for visitors to be lured to the natural beauty and possibilities of the northern part of NH. By the mid to late 1800s, tourists were venturing to the region for the scenic beauty. The area became known for its accessibility to the Kancamagus Highway, which was completed in the 1950s. Loon Mountain’s ski resort soon followed, and the world was suddenly at the doorstep of Lincoln and Woodstock. Lincoln is known as the second largest town by area in NH (Wikipedia.org), although the year-round population is not huge. Clark’s Trading Post is beloved by generations who return year after year to this unique attraction. The history of Clarks

is a story unto itself and as unique as the White Mountains. In 1928, Ed and Florence Clark opened a roadside business in Lincoln, NH. It fascinated those traveling to and from the area and was known as Ed Clark’s Eskimo Sled Dog Ranch, offering a visit with the Clarks’ purebred Eskimo sled dogs. It also offered a display of artifacts from the far north and the Trading Post had souvenirs, tonic and maple candy. All in all, it was a popular and unusual place to add to a tourist’s to-do list. By the early 1930s, Florence and Ed added their first Black

untains Bear to the business and this made Clarks even more unusual. In 1949, the couple’s sons, Ed and Murray, began training the bears and the Bear Show was started. The business grew, but some things are the same: the love and care the Bear Show bears receive. Woodstock, with a population of around 1,500, sits next door to Lincoln; it was granted in 1763. In its early days, logging and lumber mills were king in the town, rivaled only by the tourist trade that brought visitors to see the wilderness beauty of the area. It joins neighboring Lincoln as a lodging and dining spot for sightseers, hikers and many others.

Franconia/Sugar Hill

Two little-known facts of the Franconia/Sugar Hill region are that movie star Bette Davis vacationed in the area and poet Robert Frost resided in Franconia for a few years. The area has many beautiful views and a lot of businesses and special spots to recommend it to any visitor, whether poet, movie star, or just someone who wishes to relax and spend time in NH’s peaceful mountains. Franconia and Sugar Hill are nestled on the western side of the glorious White Mountains and the tranquility and beauty of the area is unsurpassed. Colonial Governor Benning

Wentworth granted the town of Franconia in 1764. It is interesting to note the town sits on a rich iron deposit, and iron was once mined in the area to make farm tools. Bette Davis was vacationing in the area when she met and fell in love with Arthur Farnsworth, an employee of a local ski school, according to Wikipedia.org. They married and Davis had a plaque installed to commemorate her husband after his death; the plaque was placed on a rock on the Bridal Veil Falls trail. Poet Robert Frost lived in a small farmhouse in Franconia, which he purchased in 1915. Frost found peace and quiet on the farm, which today is a cultural center, drawing poets from near and far. The site is called the Frost Place, and it was founded in 1976 when the town of Franconia purchased the farm. The property was restored and given its name. Franconia also is home to Franconia Notch State Park and popular Cannon Mountain and the White Mountains sit in part of the area. The Appalachian Trail crosses through the area as well. A trip to the area wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Polly’s Pancake Parlor, which has been around for years, starting as a small tearoom and today is a bustling business. Just up the

Bethlehem was first established in 1774 as Lloyd’s Hill, the last of the provincial land grants. Voters changed the name to Bethlehem in 1799. In the early 1800s, Bethlehem was a stagecoach way station for those going to Crawford Notch and Portland, Maine. Taverns and blacksmith shops lined Main Street to accommodate the steady stream of travelers passing through. The beauty of Bethlehem was obvious and people began to stay permanently. Residents took in summer boarders and built tourist homes. The town became a popular mountain resort known for its clean, crisp air. More than 30 luxury hotels and boarding houses catered to summer guests. Magnificent private cottages adorned the hillsides. Today, with its “just north of Franconia Notch” location, Bethlehem has a small-town atmosphere, while welcoming many artists and musicians. Because of this, it was recently become known as “an arts community.” The Colonial Theatre, located on Main Street, is a beautiful and historic building where all sorts of programs and shows take place, including lectures and movies. The Rocks is a place visitors won’t want to miss when visiting Bethlehem. The estate was built in the 1880s by John Jacob Glessner, co-founder of the International Harvester company. Glessner built a 19-room mansion on the site and it was a beloved family summertime retreat for years. The Glessner family donated the property to the Society for the Protection of NH Forests in 1978. In the summertime, there are a variety of hiking trails in a 360-degree radius around Bethlehem, and the Appalachian Trail is just up the road. Catch a film at the Colonial Theatre, or grab a bite to eat at one of Bethlehem’s charming restaurants. Whatever your reason for visiting Bethlehem, you will want to return again and again.

A Burgeoning Business Burgeon Outdoor By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photos courtesy Burgeon Outdoor

Rudy Glocker loves the White Mountains. He is an outdoorsperson and enjoys hiking the many mountain trails. As an avid hiker, Glocker knows durable clothing is imperative for a comfortable outdoor experience. “New Hampshire has a lot of outdoor industry, such as extreme skiing. Outdoor recreation started in the state but not a lot of garments are made here,” he says. Glocker saw the best way to preserve and enhance the place he loved was to create a new business, Burgeon Outdoor. With a popular shop and sewing studio in The Village Shops, an old mill building housing a variety of stores in downtown Lincoln, New Hampshire, there is a lot to like about Burgeon Outdoor. Customers of the business certainly think so, and because of this, Burgeon Outdoor is growing. According to information on the company, Burgeon’s mission is to help mountain communities flourish. It accomplishes this by employing local talent to bring ideas to Glocker and collaborate on styles and garments that will work for customers. Burgeon Outdoor started when Glocker opened the shop and business to the public in 2019; he chose Lincoln due to its White Mountain location with ski areas and hiking mainstays of the area. “There is easy access to I-93 and Lincoln is easy to reach,” explains Glocker. In the old mill building, there is in an airy, open storefront where shoppers can browse and ask questions about the outerwear. They can also speak with and watch the five

Burgeon employees making the clothing…in the same airy space as the store. Thus, this is a most unusual business. “We use all kinds of fabrics for the garments we make,” says Glocker. Such fabrics as Spandex, Tencel which is made from the pulp of trees, and polyester to name a few of the materials, are used in the variety of quality clothes beloved by hikers, outdoorspeople, and others as well. It isn’t a requirement to be a young hiker or skier to wear

and appreciate Burgeon’s clothes. “We don’t have a particular age group that purchases our clothes. We welcome all ages – from people in their 20s to 70s,” Glocker explains. Burgeon’s products are made in the roomy studio, and the sewers can be easily seen from the large windows that surround the space. Once in the shop, customers ask questions from those who make the base layers, mid layers, outer layers, hoodies, T-shirts and more for men and women. Burgeon employees and Glocker listen to their customers and respond to create the clothing desired by a variety of buyers. For example, a warm and durable Highlander Hoodie has become one of the company’s most popular products. “I make decisions for designs based on listening to the ideas of my employees too,” Glocker says. He adds that his team gives him valuable input, and this makes sense, because they are making the garments. For example, Glocker speaks of a woman’s hiking tank top. Female customers told him they would like a good quality and comfortable - tank top. He explains the process he (and the staff) utilized to create a new tank top, which included a customer survey. The pattern was changed somewhat, and the end version was a tank top that covered all the bases. It is

good for hiking and very comfortable and women customers love the top. Glocker understands the needs of his customers, and it helps that he has been coming to the White Mountains since he was a child. “We took vacations and hiked Mount Washington. I loved the White Mountains.” Glocker never forgot the magic of the mountains and it eventually brought him back to the area. Prior to founding Burgeon, Glocker was the president of a golf apparel company in California. Before that, he served as managing partner of pediped footwear, and was a children’s footwear designer, manufacturer, and marketer. Glocker led sales and distribution for the company, and this experience helped in his role as owner of Burgeon Outdoor. In the past, Glocker also was a vice president of Goldman Sachs and worked as a distributor of sporting goods. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and an MA and BA in Political Science from Penn State University. With his strong business background, and love of the mountains, starting Burgeon Outdoor made sense. Glocker stresses that his staff is integral in the design and production of all the clothing the company brings to its customers. “We look to color trends, patterns and what colors work together. We have colors we know will sell in northern New Hampshire.” One of those colors is a forest green, which speaks of the woods of the state. It is extremely popular and can be seen in some of Burgeon’s clothing.

Even with the popularity of online shopping, Glocker says Burgeon Outdoor sells more in the actual store, although the website is growing. Perhaps the store’s popularity is because it is where customers can touch and ask questions about the clothes. Few companies are set up like Burgeon, where there are no secrets; everything is in the open and customer questions are welcome by the staff. Added to this, Glocker loves to talk shop and explain each product, from the zipper used on a jacket to the lining and outer fabric. “Most of our customers have a

New England focus and are from the greater Boston area,” Glocker says. Sharing and giving back to the community and his employees is a big part of Burgeon Outdoor. Burgeon’s mission is to help mountain communities flourish, and it accomplishes this mission by employing local talent and giving employees flexible hours, share in the company’s success and by being an active member in the social fabric of the community. Reflecting this, 5% of Burgeon’s sales go directly into supporting its charitable and environmental efforts. Glocker wants to create a positive impact on the environment and local charities. During COVID, when the world was shutting down, Burgeon set to the task of making masks. “We donated over 10,000 masks to organizations and individuals. It was an opportunity to live our mission,” Glocker adds. “When I was a child, I thought the mountains and their communities were heaven on earth. When I returned to the mountains as a young adult, I learned that my view of the ski resorts, mountain summits and lakes was far from the whole picture,” Glocker explains.

“I learned a great deal about the resilience of these communities. Their amazing work ethic, their independence, their preparation for winter, their love of place, family, and country. We believe outdoor apparel and equipment should be made in the communities which inspire their use,” he says. The enthusiasm of Burgeon’s customers is apparent when you visit the company’s website. Many of the photos of men and women, wearing the clothing in outdoor settings, appear to be models hired by the company. However, most are actual enthusiastic customers who send in photos of themselves on hiking trails; few professional models are hired for images of Burgeon Outdoor garments. Where does the name Burgeon Outdoor come from? Glocker explains that if you look up the word burgeon in a dictionary, it defines quite well what Burgeon Outdoor is all about: growing and expanding rapidly.

Heavenly Highway in the Mountains: The Kancamagus Highway When visiting the White Mountains, put a drive on the Kancamagus Highway (known to many as simply “The Kanc”) on your must-do list. And by the way, it’s pronounced Kank-ahmah-gus, if you want to say it correctly! The Kanc is an amazing road, and it takes you into and through the White Mountain National Forest as no other roadway can; many rest stops have signage about the mountains you are viewing and also a history of some spots. It is actually the eastern portion of Rt. 112, and is a total of 32 miles from Lincoln to Conway. In the summer, the Kanc is blooming with greenery and views of such areas as Kinsman Notch are camera-worthy. The highway follows the Pemigewasset, Saco and Swift Rivers. Visitors come to the Kanc for its hiking trails, as well as a number of National Forest campgrounds.

Historically, the Kancamagus Highway opened in 1959, according to wikipedia.org, connecting the Conway side of the White Mountains with the Lincoln/Woodstock portion. It must have been quite a construction project, and impressive when it opened. Those who lived on either end of the White Mountains now had a more convenient (as well as a scenic route) to get to the other side of the vast swath of mountains. Originally, the Kanc was closed during the winter months, but eventually it was opened year round. When planning a trip on the Kanc, here’s your must-pack list: a camera or cell phone for photos; a picnic lunch or snack to enjoy at a rest stop while viewing the mountains; a sweater or jacket (even in summer) and if you’re the artistic type, a sketch book to capture the natural beauty all around you on the highway. And make sure and fill up the car with gas before you take to the Kanc!

Thousands of Acres in White Mountains Conserved The N.H. Division of Forests and Lands and The Conservation Fund have announced the completion of a multi-year effort to protect 6,395 acres of forestland and aquatic resources within the Beebe River watershed in central New Hampshire. Named the Beebe River and Spencer Brook Forest Legacy Conservation Easements, the newly conserved contiguous land shares a 6.5-mile boundary with the White Mountain National Forest just north of Squam Lake. The Division of Forests and Lands will hold conservation easements on the property, which will remain privately owned and sustainably managed to support timber products and protect wildlife habitat and water resources. The property will also continue to provide access to 15 miles of recreational trails that link to an additional 150 miles of statewide trail systems, guaranteeing public pedestrian access for hunting, fishing, hiking and cross-country skiing and snowmobiling on designated trails. “This tract serves as a critical part of the Beebe River Watershed complemented by the White Mountain National Forest to the north and Squam Mountains to the south,” said State Forester Patrick Hackley, director of the N.H. Division of Forests and Lands. “We are pleased to have a role in conserving this special property and the many values it provides.” The Conservation Fund, a national environmental nonprofit, purchased the land through its Working Forest Fund with support from the Richard King Mellon Foundation. Federal funding from

the U.S. Forest Service’s Forest Legacy Program, along with private support from the Squam Lakes Conservation Society and from other local and public partners also made finalizing the purchase and establishing the easement possible. New Hampshire’s U.S. Congressional delegation representing Grafton and Carroll counties – U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan, and U.S. Representative Chris Pappas – supported the use of federal funding for this project. “Thanks to these efforts and the generous support from local and public partners, especially from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, the Squam Lake Conservation Society and the Land and Water Conservation Fund, people and wildlife will be able to enjoy this important landscape for many years to come,” said Sally Manikian, the Conservation Fund’s New Hampshire and Vermont representative. “It’s an extraordinary accomplishment to achieve both conservation and restoration goals, while improving the health and vitality of a forested watershed for wildlife, climate resilience and nearby communities,” she added. “The fate of this land has finally been confirmed, and it will continue to be managed as a working forest—ensuring jobs and revenue will stay in the region.” In addition to providing aquatic habitat for wild brook trout – which are one of New Hampshire’s species of greatest conservation need – the parcel has a deep history in the timber industry, including providing spruce for the construction of World War I airplanes.

Visit Lively Littleton Littleton is a great place to visit while in the White Mountains. Many travelers are thrilled to find a busy town with so much going on tucked into the rural area. From galleries to specialty shops, and many restaurants, Littleton also is steeped in history. Early White Mountain tourism flourished in the area, among the beautiful White Mountains. Today, the town is known for its many restaurants, artists, and a variety of shops. The town was settled in the 1760s and originally called Chiswick (which means Cheese Farm in Saxton). Until 1770, the town was part of Lisbon. The town was eventually named in honor of the Surveyor of the King’s Woods, Colonel Moses Little when it was incorporated in 1784, according to www. wikipedia.org. When it comes to New Hampshire’s history, Littleton is interesting: the Kilburn Brothers had a factory in Littleton where they published photographs, stereo views and sold stereoscopes in the Victorian era. The business operated until 1909. Another historical fact is that the town’s beloved resident, Eleanor H. Porter, was the author of “Pollyanna”. The town has embraced heroine Pollyanna, the fictional character known as “the Glad Girl.” See Pollyanna’s statue on the front lawn of the Littleton Library on Main Street, and plan to visit on the annual Littleton Pollyanna Glad Day, this year on Saturday, June 11. It is the anniversary of the unveiling of the Pollyanna sculpture on the Library Lawn. Be there to help celebrate the statue…

and of course, the Glad Girl herself! If you have come to the area for bicycling, you are in the right place! This is an upand-coming hotspot for technical riders, where advanced trails deliver panoramic views of the Presidential Range. With many miles of trails in the Parker Mountain area, there is a trailhead with parking at the end of School Street in Littleton, NH. The trail network offers mountain biking, hiking, and running trails, with something for every outdoor enthusiast. The Moore Dam on the nearby Connecticut River forms the Moore Reservoir. Fishing for the family is great here. Other area sites include the River Walk and Covered Bridge, a downtown historical walk, and the Littleton Opera House. With a long history, the Opera House offers productions and space for events. Shopping and dining are fun experiences in Littleton. From homemade pizza to gourmet, a meal on the run ice cream, and much more, there is something for everyone in Littleton. Lodgings abound, from country inns, bed and breakfast establishments, to larger hotels and motels. Shops include those that specialize in clothing, art, repurposed furnishings, baked goods, ski and sportswear, books, fun antiques, and much more. A stroll down Main Street, with shops lining the area, as well as on little side streets, is a day’s worth of adventure.

History in a Refined Setting: the Adair Country Inn and Restaurant The beautiful Adair Country Inn and Restaurant in Bethlehem welcomes guests year round in a tranquil setting. Built in 1927, for many years the inn was the private home of the Hogan/Guider family. Frank Hogan was a successful Washington, DC lawyer when his daughter, Dorothy Adair Hogan, married John Guider. Hogan built the Adair as a wedding gift for his daughter. (John Guider was a lawyer in Frank Hogan’s firm, and the family was close knit.) Due to the Hogan/Guider family’s social standing, they were friends with people from all walks of life. Glittering society found its way to the Bethlehem home, and guests to the Adair home included presidential hopefuls, Supreme Court justices, senators, actors such as Dorothy’s lifelong best friend Helen Hayes, and sports figures. The property remained the Guider’s private home until the passing of Dorothy Guider in 1991. In 1992, the beautiful home was converted into an 11-room country inn with two

Visit Littleton’s Stunning New Photography Gallery The ever-changing arts scene in Littleton has delivered another gem: this time in the form of a striking new gallery and store on the historic Main Street. White Mountain photographer Shaun Terhune recently transformed a downtown storefront into a rustic gallery, complete with timber-frame beams, a crackling fireplace and canoes hanging from the rafters. Walking through the store and perusing countless pictures of New Hampshire’s glittering White Mountain vistas or bears, moose and old covered bridges, the region’s most inspiring scenes come to life. When he’s not out shooting sunrises or leading photography expeditions with National Geographic, Shaun can generally be found at the store, where, in addition to his own work, he’s curated a beautiful mix of other art, fine rustic furniture, carved bowls and more from talented regional artists. Acting as a local guide, Shaun is also a great resource for tips on where to go for great hikes and even pointers on spotting wildlife in the area. Head inside with the kids, family dog, muddy boots or re-

cently-purchased sack of fudge from Chutter’s next door - this isn’t your typical art gallery. The store smells like alpine spruce and fresh pine, looks like a New England lodge, and feels just a bit like home. On the walls, Shaun’s glowing photographs are featured as large panoramas and fine art canvas prints framed in beautiful barn wood. On display tables, hundreds of smaller prints are available for sale, mounted on sleek, rigid panels. Shoppers can flip through racks of frames, pair them with their favorite print, and walk out with their own customized piece. Whether looking for a special photograph of the White Mountains, a real moose antler for the mantle at home, or just the experience of walking through this lovely store, it’s well worth the visit. Downtown Littleton is full of interesting shops and restaurants, sitting perched on the Ammonoosuc River just a mile from Interstate 93. At 39 Main Street, “Shaun Terhune Fine Art Photography” is marked by a towering cedar signpost which calls to mind those iconic, weather-beaten signs of the White Mountain National Forest. Inside, you’ll see why!

By Chef Kelly Ross To all the locals, as well as the tourists, who are buzzing around these parts, you are all here in this neck of the woods for a reason, and that is simply because it is absolutely gorgeous here and has so much to offer to so many. We have the beautiful lakes that attracts boaters, swimmers, and fisherman from all over and we have the incredible mountains with the many scenic hiking trails associated with them. It’s truly a goldmine of spectacular outdoor activities. It’s no wonder traffic is so crazy around here all summer and fall. I am a foodie and have been a chef for 30+ years and although I love talking about different foods and recipes with pretty much anyone, my focus is usually on grilling, sauteing, and baking. Honestly, those few types of cooking make up the majority of what we eat at home. That’s exactly the focus of my writing these articles, to keep the ideas flowing at home as to not get caught up in a “food rut” that happens to all of us at times. Well, this article is much different than any of those. I am going out of my usual comfort zone to focus on healthy snacks for those enjoying the mountains and their hiking trails. These can also work for any outdoor activities like biking for instance, as well as great to snack on at home. Most of these healthy snacks the kids will love as well. For those who do hike, they are the first to tell you they need quick energy and carbs periodically as they take their breaks. I am offering a whole bunch of snacks and such, including granola bars, trail mixes, and the big hit for most I know are the many types and flavors of energy balls, like Blueberry Apple Pie, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip and Mocha Hazelnut. All of these are homemade, simple, healthy, and quick, as well as pretty darn good. Many of

Snacks to Fuel Your Outdoor Adventures

Bringing Mexico to New Hampshire with tons of ﬂavor and just as much excitement! Our food is made from scratch, made to order, PLUS sourced locally AND we roll all of our own ﬂour tortillas by hand. Quality that you can taste. Wednesday - Saturday 12pm - 9pm Sunday12pm - 5pm

these snacks should be kept cold, as I know many hikers who pack a backpack with ice packs, some waters, and some food for their trek thru the woods. If that’s not your routine, you will find some great options here as well that don’t need to be kept cold. I would be lying to say that I know much of anything when it comes to hiking, but I do know enough that the average hiker loses about 400-450 calories an hour when doing their thing. As a result, the best snacks to eat along the way include fresh and dried fruits, nuts, jerky, and energy and protein bars. When you’re out there on the trail, your body exerts a lot of energy. It’s crucial to keep it fueled so that you can keep yourself energized and moving, no matter how far the winding path takes you. Now’s not the time to skimp on healthy fats, complex carbs and salt. As you chug along, your body will be sweating and working. Healthy snacks will help you make it that extra mile. Plus, what better way to enjoy a gorgeous waterfall or an incredible view than with a snack in hand. There are many interpretations of what makes a healthy snack. Big snack food companies would like you to believe that any packaged snack is healthy, so long as it says only 100 Calories on the wrapper, but you and I are too savvy to fall for that though, aren’t we? See, we understand that for a snack to be truly healthy it needs to be made of real, unprocessed food. Anything with a package and a laundry list of ingredients just isn’t going to make the cut for us. We value our health, our bodies, our energy levels and therefore we believe that snacks should be wholesome. Let’s start with a few different trail mixes. The first one is a dried fruit and nut concoction that really is

delicious. The dried banana chips in particular puts this over the top in my humble opinion. This will take about a half hour to throw together and makes 3 ½ cups. Never be afraid to sub out ingredients that you prefer over ones you would rather eliminate. Fruit and Nut Trail Mix ½ cup raw almonds ½ cup raw cashews ½ cup raw walnut halves Sea salt ½ cup golden raisins ½ cup dried cranberries ½ cup dried apricots ½ cup dried bananas Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Toss the nuts with a couple pinches of salt in a large bowl and gently spread out onto a cookie sheet. Toast for 12-15 minutes, stirring about halfway thru, until they start turning golden in color. Let the nuts cool completely, then mix with all the dried fruit. Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 5 days or maybe more. Next is a spicy mix with cashews and garlic being the main ingredients but with a wide array of secondary flavors, lemongrass and lime leaves in particular. Lime leaves can be tough to find sometimes, although quite prevalent in any Southeast Asian market, or easily online, and I strongly recommend using them. This mix is sweet, savory, spicy and crunchy, and a complete winner. Total time to prep and cook is a little over an hour and it makes 3 ½ - 4 cups or so.

Spicy Cashew and Lemongrass Snack Mix Vegetable or peanut oil for frying 3 cups raw cashews, divided 1 ¼ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste ½ tsp sugar 2 medium lemongrass stalks, bottom 4 inches of stalk sliced crosswise, about 1/3 cup, discard tops 1/3 cup fresh green and red Thai chiles, a little over 1 ½ oz, stemmed and thinly sliced crosswise 12 medium size fresh makrut lime leaves 1 cup finely chopped garlic, 5-6 heads of garlic. I recommend using a food processor 1/3 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a medium-size Dutch oven, and heat over medium to 325 degrees. Add 1 cup cashews to hot oil, and fry, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using a large heatproof fine mesh strainer or slotted spoon, transfer fried cashews to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Immediately sprinkle with ¼ tsp salt. Repeat process two more times with remaining cashews and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle all cashews evenly with sugar. While fried cashews cool, place lemongrass in a strainer. Lower strainer into hot oil, and fry lemongrass, stirring occasionally in strainer until just beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Transfer fried lemongrass to a separate baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Set aside. Add Thai chiles to strainer, and fry until just beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Transfer chiles to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle

with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Add lime leaves to strainer. Carefully fry until crisp, about 45 seconds. Transfer lime leaves to plate lined with paper towels to drain. Set aside. Reduce heat under oil until temperature drops to 275 degrees. The oil should be hot enough that when a piece of garlic is added, it sizzles immediately but doesn’t take on color right away. Add garlic to strainer and fry, stirring often, until crisp and lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a separate plate lined with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ tsp salt. Set aside. Frying each element individually ensures crunchy, not burned, components. Use a food processor to make quick work of the garlic. Place coconut in a dry small skillet. Cook over medium-low, stirring often, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a separate plate lined with paper towels, and spread in a thin, even layer. Let cool about 10 minutes. Using your hands, crush fried lemongrass and lime leaves into a large bowl. Remove and discard any tough stems from lime leaves. Add cashews, chiles, garlic, and coconut and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt. This cashew mix can be made up to 5 days in advance. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. This is the most eclectic of the trail mixes offered today as quinoa is one of the key ingredients, which will either entice many or have many jumping to the next recipe as quinoa is one of those love or hate kind of items. Nuts and dried fruits are also key to this one. Overall prep and cooking time takes an hour and makes 7 cups. Popped Quinoa Trail Mix 1 tsp Chia seeds, plus 3 tbsp filtered water

1 cup sliced almonds, raw and unsalted 1 cup macadamia nuts, raw and unsalted 1 cup pecans, raw and unsalted 1 cup pepitas, raw and unsalted 1 cup dried cranberries, unsweetened ½ cup sesame seeds 1 cup large unsweetened coconut flakes Mix the chia seeds and water in a small cup and set aside for 15 minutes, until it becomes gel-like. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously grease a baking pan with coconut oil. In a small bowl combine the honey, extracts, coconut oil and chia seed mixture. In a large bowl combine the quinoa, nuts, berries, seeds and coconut flakes. Mix in the wet ingredients until well combined. Spread over the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, stir, and then bake for another 10 minutes until evenly golden. Once again, let cool completely and then store in an airtight container at room temp, and again this will stay fresh for 5+ days. One more trail mix of sorts for all of you before we change things up. This will be done in a half hour and makes 4 cups.

Cliff Bars 1 cup pitted dates 1¼ cups crisp rice cereal 1 cup quick cooking oats ¼ cup coarsely chopped peanuts 2 tbsp ground flaxseed ½ tsp ground cinnamon Pinch salt ½ cup peanut butter ⅓ cup brown rice syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract ¼ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips Spray an 8x8 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Place the dates in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Combine the pureed dates with the cereal, oats, peanuts, flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Combine the peanut butter and brown rice syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until melted and completely blended. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the oat mixture and stir until well combined. Gently stir in the chocolate chips. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly to pack the mixture into the pan. Let the mixture sit until completely cool and set, at least 1 hour. Cut into bars, then wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. This next one combines walnuts, cranberries and crystalized ginger to create a great marriage of flavors. This also requires a puffed cereal of choice. If using puffed rice, it’s good as is. If you want to use puffed corn or wheat, I suggest pounding into smaller pieces,

similar to the size and consistency of the rice. This takes about 15 minutes to make, then freeze them for 45 minutes and they are ready to serve. I cut them into 8 bars. Keep leftovers in the fridge. Walnut Cranberry Ginger Power Bars 1 tbsp vegetable oil 1 ¼ cups rolled oats 1 ¼ cups chopped toasted walnuts ½ cup oat bran 1 ½ cups puffed cereal, pounded into smallish bits if choosing a larger cereal 1 cup dried cranberry, coarsely chopped 3 pieces of dried crystallized ginger, finely chopped 1 cup brown rice syrup 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1/1 tsp salt First grease an 8″ x 8″ baking pan with the oil. In a large bowl,

stir together all the dry ingredients. Combine the brown rice syrup and vanilla together into a small bowl. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds or cook on stove in a small pot until slightly warm and a little thinner in texture. Pour onto dry ingredients and combine. Press the mixture into the greased pan. Freeze for about 45 minutes, until hardened. Cut slices as big or small as you like, but I cut in half and then each half into quarters. Store in the fridge. One of my favorite flavors in the world is banana, as I love all banana baked products known to man and womankind. If someone made me banana bread for the rest of my life to toast or grill every morning, I would say “Yes” immediately. This bar is made with actual bananas as opposed to dried bananas like we used earlier, so it reminds me of my Gram’s Banana Bread I enjoyed as a kid. This bar also has no added sugar, relying on the bananas themselves, as well as mini chocolate chips to supply the sweetness. I am also including a recipe for a glaze for the top of these if you want, although maybe not practical to bring on a hike if glazed as it will be messy. If just to have around the house, glaze them for sure. Prep and cooking these will take 45-50 minutes, and then again need to be cooled. I am usually cutting these into 9 squares as opposed to bars since I like them so much.

¼ cup chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds 1/3 cup mini chocolate or cinnamon chips Grated nutmeg or cinnamon, optional For The Honey Yogurt Glaze: ¼ cup whole or 2% plain Greek yogurt 1 tbsp honey 1 tbsp powdered sugar 2 tsp whole or 2% milk Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9 x 9-inch square baking dish with olive oil or butter. Peel the bananas and mash their flesh in a medium bowl. Mash very thoroughly until no large chunks remain as the bananas should be essentially liquid. You should have between 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups. Stir in the vanilla, add the oats, and stir them in. Stir in the dates, nuts, chocolate chips and salt. Transfer to the baking dish and pat into an even layer. If desired, sprinkle the top lightly with nutmeg or cinnamon. Bake until the edges just begin to crisp up, about 30 minutes. Pull and place the baking pan on a rack to cool. Meanwhile, if you’re making the glaze, whisk together the yogurt, honey, powdered sugar, and milk in a small bowl. When the pan is cool, drizzle the top with the glaze, cut into 8 squares and enjoy. The bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If glazed, store them in the refrigerator, otherwise, at room temperature works. Before I transition to some scrumptious energy ball recipes, I’m going “off the board” from the norm today to share a great sweet treat and likely the unhealthiest of the group today, but we all need to cheat a little now and then. You might think I’m crazy,

but I’m not a huge chocolate fan, and as a result, not a big fan of brownies either. However, I’m a ginormous fan of their alter ego, that being the blondie. Those, my friends, I could eat all day long. Easily one of my all-time favorites. Now add another one of my loves to the recipe and we have a big winner in my book. That additional ingredient is toffee, so I dare you to say that this doesn’t sound good for a treat while taking a quick rest from your hike, or just sitting around the house for that matter. There is no bad time to enjoy these. The prep and cooking process will take an hour, then let them cool. You will get 12-15 squares depending on how big you want to cut them. Brown Butter Toffee Blondies 2 ½ sticks of unsalted butter, plus more for the pan 2 ¼ cups flour, plus more for the pan 1 ½ tsp baking powder 1 ½ tsp salt 2 cups packed light brown sugar ½ cup granulated sugar 3 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 ½ tsp almond extract 1 cup chopped walnuts 1 cup toffee bits Confectioners’ sugar for dusting the top once cooled, optional Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Line the bottom of pan with parchment paper, then butter and lightly flour the parchment paper.

let cool. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine browned butter and both sugars and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Attach bowl to mixer and add eggs. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and almond extracts and beat to combine. Add flour mixture, walnuts, and toffee bits. Mix until thoroughly combined and pour into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Do not overcook. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before turning out of pan onto a cutting board. Peel off parchment paper and cut blondies into desired squares. Just before serving, dust with confectioners’ sugar, if desired. Awesome on the trails or just about anywhere. So now to my favorites of the healthy snacks, that being Energy Balls. Most of these are gluten free, and they are all “No Bake” recipes, which is never a bad thing. Like granola type bars, the ingredient combos possible in these are endless, but to me, most of these sound more like yummy desserts as opposed to the bars.

Most of these just sound like something my Grammy would have prepared as a killer dessert. Considering these are named Mocha Hazelnut, Blueberry Apple Pie, among others, tell me I’m wrong. Anyway, let’s start with the Mocha Hazelnut version. These ball recipes are the easiest of all today and will go together in 15-20 minutes, then refrigerate until ready to eat. Obviously on a hike or any other outdoor activity you take them to, you should keep them cold. One small ice pack in a knapsack with the balls in a bag next to the pack is all you need. You will get 14-15 balls of bite sized greatness from this recipe, so get to it and have a ball making them. I know, that was pretty bad. One thing that isn’t bad is that when making these recipes, good luck rolling them all as you will tempted to eat the dough raw in all cases. Mocha Hazelnut Energy Balls 1 cup chocolate hazelnut butter 1 cup unsweetened coconut 8 pitted dates 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder 2 tbsp flaxseed meal 2 tbsp ground chia seeds 1 tbsp espresso powder 1 tbsp maple sugar 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract ½ cup mini chocolate chips Except for the chocolate chips, place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until completely combined. Then fold in chocolate chips until well blended. Use a cookie scoop to scoop the mixture then press mixture firmly in the cookie scoop. Remove

then form ball with hands. Repeat until all mixture is gone, about 14-15 energy balls. Place in fridge to firm up for at least an hour. Store in fridge until serving. Now for the Blueberry Apple Pie version. Now, there is a choice of yours to make with these. The original recipe I was given for these a few years back included a gluten free apple cereal as the key ingredient, which isn’t the easiest item to find sometimes. I found a great one online thru Amazon called Steve’s Paleo Goods Apple Krunch Cereal. Depending on your diet and possible allergies, this might be something you want to consider. If that isn’t a major concern of yours, I would suggest using Kellogg’s Special K Apple Cinnamon Crunch, which works very well. The recipe is based on the Steve’s product, which is a 7.5 oz bag, so if using the Special K, weigh to 7.5-8 oz. These are again as simple as any recipe ever to make and the follow up when finished is the same as last one too. The last one of these energy bite sized treats has a Fall-like flavor to them as we unite pumpkin and chocolate. Same routine, same amount of time, as well as pieces yielded. You’ll be able to make these in your sleep in no time. Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Energy Balls 1 cup raw cashew butter, 8 oz 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 8 pitted dates 3 tbsp maple syrup 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder 2 tbsp flaxseed meal 2 tbsp ground chia seeds

1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ cup mini chocolate chips Place all ingredients in a food processor, again, except for the chocolate chips, and pulse until completely combined. Fold in the chocolate chips until well blended. Place in fridge to firm up for about 30 minutes. Use a cookie scoop to scoop the mixture, then press mixture firmly in the cookie scoop. Remove, then form ball with hands. Repeat until the mixture is gone about 14-15 energy balls. Store in fridge until serving. How’s that for a boatload of healthy snack options that taste great and go together in record time? Not too shabby, right? Put it this way, I’m not one to go hiking, but I’m sure one to eat and devour most of these recipes in a heartbeat. Obviously, these are ideal for the hikers and other outdoor recreationalists who need to replenish some of the nutrients they lose during exercising, but you don’t have to be a workout freak to love and appreciate them. They are a tremendous healthy option to give the kids at snack time instead of some of the usual junk they sometimes eat. I promise that you will not be let down by these. That being said, I hope you all have enjoyed this read and are walking away saying, “I’m all over these recipes”. May this summer season treat you all in an incredible way, whether on the trails, the road, the lakes or just lounging around at home. After all, this is the time of year for enjoyment and some ultimate leisure time, so Enjoy My Friends!!!

Pemi Valley Moose Tours

e s o o M s r u To

at Pemi Valley Excursions

Moose and NH’s mountains are synonymous. Travelers see signs that tell of areas where moose are plentiful. The mighty moose fascinates everyone, and with that in mind, the idea of moose tours was started in the White Mountains. Here’s a little information on why Pemi Valley Moose Tours began…and the fun that is in store when taking a moose tour. “The moose tours started back in 1999,” says a Pemi Valley spokesperson. “I had an idea one day that lots of people wanted to see moose. Visitors were often asking us (the locals) where they could see moose in the area. I figured, why not provide them a fun and safe way to look for moose? So, in 1999, I bought a 21-passenger bus and started the moose tours...and to the amazement of many, it took off! “We now have a 44-passenger bus and we offer a step-on tour guide that interacts with our guests, providing them with lots of information on moose and the area. The tour runs for a few hours, and we have a nice rest stop at a little store, and yes, there are snacks/gifts and fudge! “The tour operates after dusk, starting the beginning of May and running through Columbus Day weekend. Remember, there is no promise that we will see moose (they are wild animals, not performers) but over the years we run an average of seeing moose in the wild 95 percent of the time.”

Reservations are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

• 3 – 3.5 hour trip includes a tour guide, movie, and lots of surprises! • View historical points of interest, including Franconia Notch Parkway • Tours depart every evening at dusk.

(best time to view moose is from dusk to dawn.)

97% Success Rate for Moose Sightings

A Sense of History on the Conway Scenic Railroad By Dawn M. Bradbury Photos courtesy of Conway Scenic Railroad Stepping back in time is as easy as hopping on a train in North Conway. And visitors will have some additional opportunities for that this year. The Conway Scenic Railroad’s popular Mountaineer train to Crawford Notch will begin regular service on May 24 — a month earlier than usual. It will also run later, throughThanksgiving, this year.

“With climate change and a lot more people up here, we extended the season,” said Brian Solomon, manager of marketing & events at Conway Scenic Railroad. “If people ride the trains, we’ll run the trains.” Conway Scenic Railroad recreates the experience of transcontinental travel, with trains departing from an 1874 train

station at 38 Norcross Circle in North Conway Village. “It teaches you the way people traveled before the automobile ruled the road,” Solomon said, speaking in early May as he was about to board a ballast train doing some track work before the season kicks into high gear. “Train was the way people traveled certainly through the 1950s. We recreate the spirit of traditional railway travel.” Right now, the railroad is running on weekends, three trips a day at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.; the schedule will expand after May 24. Updated schedules and reservations are at www.conwayscenic.com; you can also reserve by phone at (603) 356-5251 or buy tickets in person when the station is open; that’s only weekends for now. In fact, it’s not too early to think about fall color excursions, Solomon said. “Foliage runs are the hardest time to buy a ticket,” he said. “Book today; if you wait until October, you’ll find it hard to get a ticket.” There are three main runs: • The hourlong Conway Valley train initially will offer twicedaily trips at 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.; at the end of June, a 9:30 a.m. run will be added. “It recreates the spirit of early 20th century rail travel,” Solomon said. “It gives a sense of how it used to be to travel town by town by train.” This train is especially popular with families, since it’s shorter and lower cost. It utilizes mostly cars from the 1920s and offers a town-to-town, intercity travel experience, like a regular day coach train, Solomon said.

The oldest car on the Conway Valley train is the Gertrude Emma, an openair platform car built by Pullman in 1898 for the Pe n n s y l va n i a Railroad. It’s the oldest passenger car in regular revenue service in the U.S, Solomon said, and the type of car presidents took on whistle stop tours, he said. • The 4.5hour Mountaineer trip to Crawford Notch is the railroad’s premier run. This run uses streamlined, Art Deco-styled trains that were produced in the 1930s to 1950s. Passengers choose from a variety of different experiences including travel in the premium class dome car, Rhonda Lee. Regular Mountaineer excursions will begin May 24 and board at North Conway at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

• The Sawyer River excursion, at 2.5 hours, offers more scenery and uses special engines, running along a historic rail route in vintage passenger cars. This year, the ride has been extended slightly to take in more scenery, Solomon said. “It’s a very popular run.” In April, a special Sawyer River trip used the Maine-based 470 Railroad Club’s restored Boston & Maine F7A diesels 4266 and 4268 for the scheduled trains to Conway and Sawyer River. This was the first revenue move on Conway Scenic using recently restored B&M 4268. The railroad hopes to have these classic F7s out on occasion during the 2022 season. The valley train is the most popular overall, because it runs so often — up to five times a day in season — and it’s a short run

with lower cost. But in the fall, the Mountaineer train sells out from the end of September to mid-October, for color season. The railroad has started the Mountaineer a month early this year — the first trip is May 24 — and it will run through Thanksgiving. There is also a special photographer’s Mountaineer excursion over Crawford Notch on Sunday, May 22. It will board at 9 a.m. to allow a longer journey over Crawford Notch. This will feature a special schedule with photo run-bys to allow passengers to make staged views of the train. This will be powered by an unusual combination of the 470 Railroad Club’s former Boston & Maine F7a diesels with one of the railroad’s locomotives. That sense of history permeates the Conway Scenic Railroad experience, from arrival at the station to disembarking the train. The Russian Revival style station was built in 1874, and last served as a common carrier passenger station for the Boston & Maine Railroad in 1961. Since 1974, it has been the headquarters and base of operations for the Conway Scenic Railroad. The classic Victorian station plus the adjacent freight house and roundhouse are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Along the trips, narrators describe the landscape, imparting both area and railroad history to passengers (we learned how Bartlett got its name on a recent trip, for example). And the newest piece of railroad equipment the railroad owns was manufactured in 1966 — Engine 255, a General Motors GP38 built for Maine Central Railroad, Solomon said. The private, for-profit Conway Scenic Railroad is owned by Profile Mountain Holdings with an aim to deliver a first-class experience as a heritage tourist railroad. It hit nearly record

ridership in the 2020-21 season, despite Covid-19 interruptions and capacity adaptations. This year, things are basically back to normal, and Solomon is expecting a big season. They’re constantly tweaking the schedule — rearranging to have the trains depart and board at better times for riders, adding trains and expanding the times of year they run. There’s a snow train in January, February and early March; an expanded schedule in spring and summer. “I’m hoping this will be a really good year,” Solomon said. “People love coming here; we get a lot of repeat customers and we’re always looking to get people on board who have never traveled by train before.”

Hike Safe in NH From NH Fish and Game Hikers, climbers, and all other outdoor enthusiasts are encouraged to purchase their voluntary annual Hike Safe card. Card sales help ensure that NH Fish and Game Law Enforcement Conservation Officers, trained in wilderness rescue, are there to come to your aid if the unexpected happens. Valid for the calendar year, the 2021 Hike Safe cards cost $25 for an individual, or $35 for a family, and are good for the calendar year ending December 31, 2021. You can purchase the card for someone else — they make a great gift for any adventurer. Cards can be purchased online at www.wildnh.com/safe and at New Hampshire Fish and Game Department Headquarters, 11 Hazen Drive, in Concord. Because of year-round unpredictable weather and the rugged terrain that characterizes the Granite State, the Hike Safe card has become popular among outdoor enthusiasts, and revenues raised through their sale go to the Department’s Search and Rescue Fund to help defray the cost of training and equipment. The card also exempts holders from certain liability for repaying search and rescue costs. “Whatever outdoor activity you enjoy — hiking, biking, paddling, cross country skiing, walking the nature trails in your town— the Hike Safe card is your back-up plan for the great outdoors,” said Fish and Game Law Enforcement Chief Colonel Kevin Jordan.

Mt. Washington Valley The Conway Area

Shoppers love great stores, and the Conway area has plenty. Whether you love shopping for clothing, books, home furnishings or other items, the many shops from downtown North Conway to the outlet store area in the town, offer something for everyone. Visitors also come for to the area each summer for the hiking and biking, kayaking/canoeing and the scenery and dining. The Mount Washington Valley areas of Conway and North Conway have something for every visitor. Conway encompasses the areas of North Conway, Center Conway, Kearsarge and Intervale, as well as an area known as Redstone. Long before early American settlers came to the valley, the area was home the Pequawket Indians. They made good use of the Saco River area for fishing and hunting and lived along the waterway. Their camps stretched for miles and created an amazing sight. Darby Field is a name seen in the area today, and the man/ explorer of that name came to the mountains in the 1640s. He

arrived via the Saco River, the best means of travel at the time. Like many other areas of NH, the area was named for an English noble or famous personage. Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth sent a group of men to settle the area he called Conway (named for the commander of the British army). The area grew over the years and by the 1850s, artists discovered the wild beauty of the region. One of the most famous artists, Benjamin Champney, trekked over the White Mountains, capturing the views on canvas. The paintings became great publicity for the White Mountains, and soon tourists began arriving. This led to the era of the grand hotels and tourism. Today, the Mount Washington Valley continues to lure vacationers year-round. Visitors come for attractions like the Conway Scenic Railroad and The Mount Washington Auto Road, the shopping, and the arts and entertainment, which abound each summer throughout the Conway area. Of course, another lure is the many outdoor activities. The New England Ski Museum has a second location (main headquarters for the museum is near Canon Mountain) at the

Bretton Woods

The tiny area of Bretton Woods has some big boasting rights: it was the home of the United States Monetary and Financial Conference in 1944, the location of one of the remaining grand hotels, a ski area, as well as being home to the first cog-driven train to climb Mount Washington. Some mistake it for the resort that is situated there and shares the name Bretton Woods. However, the area is actually within the town of Carroll. At one time, grand hotels dotted the White Mountains. The sprawling facilities provided a playground for the wealthy. Most are gone now, but the beautiful White Mountain Hotel and Resort remains. Opened in 1902, the hotel has seen it all: Prohibition, world war, a monetary conference, and the start of the sport of skiing which has grown in popularity over the

years. Declared a National Historic Landmark in the 1980s, the Mount Washington Hotel is one of only a small number of grand hotels still in existence. It continues to welcome guests and offers a glimpse of the era of luxury vacationing in the mountains. The Bretton Woods ski area is nearby and welcomes outdoor enthusiasts. The Cog Railway is part of Bretton Woods; in July of 1869, after much work to cut through the forests the first train, Old Peppersass, was the first cog-driven train to climb 6,288-foot Mount Washington.

Tamworth

Summer outdoor activities, the arts, farming and music are just some of the reasons to visit Tamworth, in the shadow of Mount Chocorua. Tamworth includes area villages of Wonalancet, Whittier, Chocorua and South Tamworth. White Lake State Park lures visitors and locals during the warm weather months, and many come back for the brilliant fall foliage and winter fun activities.

The White Mountain Independents are a thriving community of over 20 local, independent retail businesses in the Mt. Washington Valley. Each unique store offers an exceptional shopping experience, where you will ﬁnd locally-made goods as well as a wide variety of other great products.

Like many other towns and cities in NH, Tamworth was named for an English nobleman, who also was a friend of Governor Benning Wentworth. The downtown village area of Tamworth the Barnstormers Theater has the distinction of being one of the longest running professional theatres in the country. The theatre was founded by one of President Grover Cleveland’s children, Francis Cleveland. And speaking of the President, the area was also the summer home of the Cleveland’s for many years. The community is a strong supporter of the arts, with the presence of the Barnstormers Theatre in the village. The Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm was the home of the Doctors Remick, who served the area for many years, in all sorts of weather. This was the time when doctors definitely made house calls. These days, the homestead of the Remick family is a history and educational museum, as well as a farm. Nearby Mount Chocorua is among the most recognizable peaks in New England and a big draw for artists, hikers, and photographers throughout the year.

Berlin / Gorham

1- 8 0 0 - 4 5 8- 183 8

If you look at a map of northern NH, you will see the majestic White Mountains cutting a swath across the region. The area has a lot going on and it is a part of the state with a rich history. Like many other towns in NH, Berlin got its start with a different name when it was settled in the 1700s. The area was once home to Native Americans, until outside explorers arrived. The lure of the wilderness and the unknown brought them to the area and soon the presence of government was felt. In 1771, Governor John Wentworth ordered

44 | Scenic New Hampshire | White Mountains | Summer 2022

that the land in the area be surveyed. Likely he was thinking about the timber in the area that could be used to build ships for the home country (England). The township was named Maynesboro (some of the original grantees were named Sir William Mayne and Robert Mayne). Probably due to the Revolutionary War and also because the area was so remote at a time when travel was difficult, few of the grantees lived in Maynesboro. In 1829, the town had a modest population, and was renamed Berlin. Because of the Androscoggin River, the area was a natural place for logging; certainly, timber was plentiful. By the 1850s, the railroad brought the outside world to Berlin. Paper and pulp mills offered work for residents in Berlin, and French Canadians relocated to the town for jobs. In the 1870s a group started the national oldest ski club and it is still in existence today, known as the Nansen Ski Club. A big draw of the Berlin area is the Jericho Mountain State Park. The park is popular with ATVs and there are miles of ATV trails. Outdoor sports are plentiful in the Berlin area, and 4,170-foot Mount Cabot is a popular place for hikes. Not far away, Gorham was a remote settlement for many years. By the 1850s, the railroad changed the status of the town from remote to a tourist area. Paper mills and logging continued to be employers in the area for many years. Music and the arts abound at the Medallion Opera House in Gorham. Great Glen Outdoor Trails offer hiking and other sports in summer. But the king of it all is the Mount Washington Auto Road leading to the big peak of Mount Washington.
