Castle in the Clouds - built in 1913
Moultonboro, New Hampshire

Beautiful drive up to top of "mountain" -- 5,500 Acre country estate built in 1913 by shoe mogul Thomas Plant. Brought in over 1,100 Italian stonecutters and masons to build the castle. Has modern conveniences not typically found in homes built at time of construction. Many interesting Antiques. Also is called the Lucknow Estate. Guided Tours are available.

Panoramic views in every direction including great views of Lake Winnipesaukee which covers 72 square miles and has 183 miles of shoreline.  Well landscaped grounds in middle of forest with waterfall near entry road on way up to parking area at Stables where there was a restaurant and a small museum. Then Trolly cars take you on up to the top of the mountain to the Castle in the Clouds attraction and grounds. There are 45 miles of scenic hiking trails on the property which also can be accessed from from a parking area with an information Kiosk off of Hwy 171 just east of the Castle in the Clouds entrance.

This "Official" Castle in the Clouds Web Site has many pictures and interesting facts about how the Castle was built and it's history plus hiking trail Info and current open dates and times. Also a map link. The site is managed by the Castle Preservation Society. This link goes to some pages on another web site with additional interesting history and more pictures from The Castle in the Clouds. It is a very photogenic place!

See one of our Site Viewers Picture and comments on The Castle in the Clouds on this new "Our Favorite Attraction on Lake Winnipesaukee" Page. From Lois from Texas. You can even make your own comments about the Castle in the Clouds -- or comment on their comments about it.

Castle Springs water bottling Company has a bottling plant down near the exit area. (More Info on this Great Castle in the Clouds Attraction + several other "Must See" New England Fall Foliage Attractions on our New Hampshire Attraction "Must See's" page - link below.)

Great for a "Must See" stop on a New England Fall Foliage Vacation Day Trip circling Lake Winnipesaukee. The Castle is on the east side of the lake. Allow about 2 hours to view.

Tip -- Walk the easy and very scenic 4-5 minute walk back down from the Castle to the Restaurant, Gift Shop, and Parking area Vs taking the Trolly back down from the Castle. There are some great views and photo opportunities looking back up at the Castle!

From top of Mt Washington above clouds - 6,288 feet
Mt Washington Auto Road - Near Gorham, NH

Very narrow road with no fences along straight down mountain drops along edges. Meeting cars on road was a "white knuckle" experience.

The drive up was worth it! -- beautiful Mountain Fall Foliage views! Interesting working Cog Rail Road where can see old small special cog engine come noisily "chugging" up steep incline at top - You can ride up or down on Cog Train or in Vans. (Pictures and Info on Mt Washington Cog RR Train & Auto Road + other NH attractions on our New Hampshire Attraction "Must See's" page.)

Buy the narritive CD or tape which describes what you are driving by and has several marked stopping and viewing points along the way -- makes the drive more interesting, and even has some driving tips for the narrow mountain road.

First recorded ascent was in 1942 - Indians wouldn't climb "sacred peak." Average temp at top is 26.9 degrees. Mt. Washington snowfall averages 195 inches annually.

There is a big weather research station, several TV and Radio antennas, a museum, and of course a snack and gift ship on top.  6,288 ft. elevation.  Gusts above 100 mph are recorded every month of year.  Average wind speed at top is 35 MPH so plan on a bad hair day.

This link goes to a comprehensive web site on everything about Mount Washington with much information and more pictures on the Mt. Washington Auto Road and the Cog Railway in the New Hampshire White Mountains.

Self guided tours are available - even though the Mount Washington Hotel is a "Working Hotel." The Resort Hotel is close to Mount Washington mountain, above, so it is short drive over - definately worth the drive!

See an interior Hotel Picture, plus the comments of one of our Site Viewers - Jerry in Oregon - about how the Mt Washington Resort Hotel is her and her husband's favorite Historic Attraction in New Hampshire.

Franconia Notch State Park and The Flume Gorge - North 6 miles from North Woodstock, NH on I-93 where road turns into Franconia Notch Parkway for approximately 8 miles. Hwy 3 crosses through the area.

Between tall Kinsman and Franconia mountain ranges - spectacular scenery. Flume Gorge is in this area, along with what is left of the "Old Man of the Mountain" rock formation above Profile Lake. Many scenic viewing spots. In The Flume Gorge, vertical walls on sides rise up to as much as 90 feet above the Gorge floor. You can walk along a boardwalk through the gorge and then can walk a nature trail through the woods.

The Flume Gorge and Franconia Notch State Park are a "Must See" New England Attraction for your New England Fall Foliage vacation.
