Trip to the White Mountains, New Hampshire (Day 1)

---

This weekend we decide to see the fall foliage in the White Mountains, New Hampshire.

We had to drive for 2h30 to arrive at North Woodstock, the beginning for our trip on the White Mountain trail.
When we arrived, we stopped at a nice restaurant for our breakfast/lunch. We ate a nice pancake with sirup and butter.

With a good filled stomach we were ready to go on the road. Our first stop was at the 'Flume Gorge' in the Franconian Notch State park. The Flume is a natural gorge extending 800 feet (243,83 m) at the base of Mt Liberty.
We took the shuttle bus to the start of the path and rode through a covered bridge. We walked on the gravel path and wooden walkways up into the gorge with the waterfalls and through the 800-foot long gorge with its sheers 90-foot walls (27,43m).

The view was amazing and even with the rain, the colors were beautiful.

We took the car and drove further to the north. We saw wonderful views of the foliage. Along the road we stopped at the Silver Cascades and the Barlett Covered Bridge, this is the only privately owned covered bridge with a gift shop inside. http://www.coveredbridgehouse.com/covered_bridge.html

At the end of the day we arrived at Conway where we booked a room at the hostel.
We spent some time at the Settlers' Green Outlet Village that offers tax free outlet shopping.

We ended the day with a nice dinner at Merlino's family steakhous in Conway. The Fresh Cut Sirloin Tips, 10oz of Certified Angus Beef Sirloin pan-seared & glazed teriyaki style, was really tasty.
