December 4, 2010

The general tradition being, once the stove is lit it stays lit till spring....

Winter is officially running for Franconia Notch Vacations as of just an hour or so ago when we lit the woodstove for the first time of the season. The grass is now covered with snow and the ground is starting to harden. Fresh tracks be it for skiing, snow-shoeing or snow mobiling are not too long off now, so if you have not started to think about your this winter's White Mounatin vacation there is no better time.

Gather the family, discuss your available options for travel dates and book away at http://www.franconiares.com/. Looking for the best way to find Franconia Notch Vacations Specials? We have no need to hide them on you.... Franconia Notch Vacations Specials.

2010 Franconia Notch Foliage Report #2, September 23, 2010,

Franconia Notch Foliage Report #2,
September 23, 2010,

The Game is ON! The first quarter is officially under way with between 20% to 25% of our foliage showing great color, and our first real frost has just occurred two evenings ago. Routes 142, 116, 3 and 302 in the areas surrounding Franconia Notch State Park to the north will not disappoint the early going foliage seekers and are most assured to still be quiet and easy going. Get out early and you will have an open chance to see a moose on any of these roads, or take an evening tour and enjoy the rosy sunset playing against all the fall foliage.

This is what it's all about, time to get here. Our http://www.franconiarentals.com is just the place to find your family, group and pet friendly vacation accommodations and the Franconia Notch Chamber of Commerce and Lincoln-Woodstock chambers of commerce will help find all the great things we have to do once you arrive. Of course we are always happy to help, so please feel free to call: 800.247.5536

2010 Franconia Notch Foliage Report #1, September 9, 2010,

Well,

We are indeed approaching that time of year folks and we have again agreed to serve as an "Official NH Fall Foliage Reporting Station". Our first report follows:

The foliage in and about the northern stretches of Franconia Notch and the surrounding Western White Mountain region is showing very early signs of the grand display yet to come. With tips of red on distressed maples and tinges of yellow on sun drenched beech and birch it would not be quite accurate to say our region is all green still, however it would not be much of a stretch either. Due to this summers road projects, there are many miles of fresh, smooth, traffic free pavement awaiting the early arriving visitors. There's Always an Up Side to NH's Western White Mountains.

Georgianna Falls, Franconia Notch NH

May 8, 2010... Georgianna Falls, Franconia Notch, NH. The Franconia Notch Vacations Report.

We had been wanting to re-visit one of our 'ole favorites' this past week to rekindle the memories of why it's a favorite... and glad we did. The walk in to Georgianna Falls fallows along the Harvard Brook which is laden with smaller falls along the way. The Photo to the right is of where you get the first good look at Harvard Brook.








The photo to the left is one of many smaller rivulets along the way. The side streams are best and some times only seen during spring run-off and after torrential rains. See, there is an up side to rain in the mountains yet please always use caution near the water. White Mountain river rocks get extremely slippery!!


The first set of falls which are spectacular in their own right, and as seen below left, are but a taste of what lies ahead. The trail does get steep at times and may be difficult to follow. Wear a good pair of hikers and if you drift too far of stream, you know you are off trail. Just keep this in mind as you work your way up through the rocks that have "washed up" during previous floods. There's lots of'em, you'll see. See Below Right

From the mid-spring weeks of about April 27 to May 15, give or take a bit for location south vs. north and you are most sure to see some of the most beautiful Spring Trilium along the way.

On-ward and upward and after about 35 to 40 minutes you ought to be nearing the top and main set of falls. Careful on the climb up and no goofin' around near the edges allowed. The price of slipping will be a hefty if not life threatening one. Just be safe and you will be fine however.

This tour is brought to you by the experts at Franconia Notch Vacations, a professional vacation rental accommodation and concierge serve serving the Franconia Notch and surrounding White Mountain locations.

More Great White Mountain Snow Falls on Franconia and NH's White Mountains

January 29, 2009... Franconia, NH. The Franconia Notch and
surrounding White Mountain National Forest has just received a
fresh layer of Pow-Pow Powder folks. We received a healthy dose of 7" to 10" of well developed powder. Dense in nature, floaty in feeling and all around fine for all winter's fun. Cannon Mounatin, Bretton Woods and Loon Mountain ski areas are all sporting 100% open coverage or darn close to it. All the area's snowmobile, snow-shoe and cross-country ski trails are also loaded with the fresh white stuff and "there's plenty of room at the inn" in the White Mountains. No Crowds, especially mid-week.

With the trail conditions and snow depths as they are now, it's looking real good for the winter and early spring skiing months ahead. January is one day from over and... No Thaw. Yeah! That's worth celebrating right there, so why not make your plans to enjoy some of the best that Cannon Mountain, Franconia Notch and all the surrounding White Mountains has to offer.

The Backcountry is "Open" for those who are well equipped, prepared and knowledgeable on the skills require to enjoy the desired outing of the day. The mountains are as cold and lonely today as they where 100's of years ago once alone. Let's be sure you take home tails of adventure not toils of tragedy.
