I am an avid hiker and was thrilled to try out the White Mountains. Unfortunately, we only had one day while passing through but made sure to make it worth while. In the morning, we headed out on t… Full review by chloethomas1213

Just drove the road a few days ago. It is not a simple drive. There are steep drop offs and no guard rails. The top is fogged in most of the time (the locals said), which makes it very difficult to see. On the day we drove up, we could barely see 10 feet in front of us - so we drove with our hazard lights flashing and went quite slow - just staring at the yellow line between the up/down lanes. There are many turns as well. But the difficult part is coming down - as even in the lowest gear, you need to put on your brakes almost all the way down - and from the smell, we clearly heated up our brakes beyond normal. There are many turn outs to sit and let your brakes cool off. We did that once. The day we went, the top was, as mentioned, completely fogged in, and you can't see more than 10 feet away. Keep a hold on kids, if you go up here and the visibility is just as bad. Also, it was also quite cold, with snow on the ground, even though it was in the 60s on ground level. So bring a rain resistance winter jacket if you drive up to the top. The other thing to consider is the cost. It costs $45 for a car + driver and an extra $20 for each occupant. So for a family of 4, the cost to drive up is over $100! At the top, there is a look out - but of course, with it fogged in almost every day, you won't see much of anything. There is also a small gift shop, restaurant, restrooms, and museum. We found the building by first finding the stairs, then the first building was closed, followed by an open building with porta-potties, followed by some cars parked, and from following the cars, we finally found the building - again - because with the low visibility we couldn't see it until we were right near it. All in all, I am glad we drove up, it was an experience. But, if you are afraid of heights and driving near the edge of cliffs, this may not be the drive for you.

So sorry I missed this. Depends where you stay. We have a service dog and brought her everywhere. Good luck.

Q:
We are planning our July vacation and would like to stay in a central location in the White Mountains, if possible, and see Franconia Notch, Lost River, Mt. Washington, and the town of North Conway with its restaurants and mini golf. It's just my husband and I. We were there 20 years ago, but can't remember where we stayed. We also wanted to travel the scenic highway. Can anyone recommend a hotel or central location? Thanks.
A:
Red Jacket hotel is nice

Q:
Hi, we are looking to tent camp here for a few days early May, and we can't seem to find any campground that are open prior to the middle of May. Is anyone aware of a campground we could stay at in early May (perhaps they may be first come, first serve?)? No amenities needed, just need a place to pitch a tent (legally, of course). Thanks!

Here is what I found, upon doing some more digging: Lafayette Campground is located in the middle of Franconia Notch State Park, along the Franconia Recreational Trail. The …

Here is what I found, upon doing some more digging: Lafayette Campground is located in the middle of Franconia Notch State Park, along the Franconia Recreational Trail. The campground is open for walk-ins beginning May 19 and reservable stays from Memorial Day through Columbus Day weekend....Winter camping is welcome; a vault toilet but no running water is available. It also looks like backcountry camping is permitted (no fee) - just need to look into parking overnight at trailheads. Hope this helps the next person looking for this info!
