Stretching across northern New Hampshire, the White Mountains offer some of the Northeast’s most dramatic scenery, rich history, and rugged outdoor experiences. Globe Trekkers, operating out of Portland, ME, presents a private day tour that skillfully weaves together natural grandeur with local culture through the region's iconic sites.
This 8- to 10-hour journey begins with a visit to the Albany Covered Bridge, an enduring example of early New England engineering, before moving onward to North Conway. This mountain town blends charming shops and cafes with scenic foothills, serving as a vibrant gateway to the wilderness. The route then passes the Swift River Bridge, an elegant covered bridge that crosses one of the area’s swift-moving tributaries.
Guests continue to Jackson, NH, a village embraced by forested peaks and cascading waterfalls, where tradition and mountain life come alive. The highlight drive along the Kancamagus Highway unfolds next—a legendary 34-mile byway that threads through mixed hardwood and conifer forests, perched cliffs, and sweeping river valleys, carving an unforgettable pathway known for fall foliage and serene vistas.
Natural wonders like the Madison Boulder punctuate the day’s itinerary. This massive glacial erratic, estimated to weigh over 5,000 tons, marks the power of the last Ice Age and invites reflection on New England’s geological past.
The tour culminates with the ascent of Mount Washington, the Northeast’s tallest peak. Weather and season dictate whether guests experience the historic Cog Railway’s time-honored climb or the adventurous drive along the Mount Washington Auto Road. At the summit, panoramic views extend over four states and Canada, rewarding visitors with perspectives found nowhere else.
