WE had a wonderful time visiting the North Conway area and doing a little hiking in Crawford Notch. The hike up to Arethusa Falls was worth the extra care needed... read more on the leaf covered trails. The views of Mount Washington covered with snow were beautiful. There were a few businesses closed for a seasonal break but we found the selection of restaurants and other amenities to be more than adequate for our needs. This was a very relaxing time with little traffic and few neighbors. If you want a very quiet place to explore and just relax, we would recommend Attitash in the off-season.
