I have been a tourist for the last 2 weeks enjoying great rides, interesting places and fun company. In returning home I want to continue the fun!! So this Thursday's ride is a way to play tourist in our own backyard, enjoying the amazing sites that we have right here at home. Looks like the weather will be good, clear but chilly!
This ride is relatively short in mileage but big on scenery and attractions. It includes panoramic Presidential views, the Cog Railroad (if we decide to climb up to the station), Upper and Lower Ammonusuc Falls, the Mount Washington Hotel (we could go in and look around). We eat lunch or snacks on the rocks next to the Lower Ammonusuc Falls. If needed, food can be obtained at the general store near the Twin Mountain 4 corners.
Start at the Eisenhower Wayside Park which is on the right side of Route 302 a couple of miles after passing through Crawford Notch. We ride back up the notch to Mt Clinton Road. The road is probably not in much better shape than before, but is OK to ride if you take it easy and enjoy the
shady green tunnel. We could climb up to the Cog Railroad or just enjoy the downhill cruise, stopping to look at Upper Ammonusuc Falls. We then ride out to the Twin Mt 4 corners and stop to enjoy the Lower Ammonusuc Falls.
Start: 10:00 am at the Eisenhower Wayside Park
Total distance: 25 miles; with shorter options.
Carpool: Attitash parking lot, far end, 9:15 am.
