by AliventiAsylum, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, May 04 '03
Pros: beautiful scenery, and still plenty to do now that The Old Man is gone

Pros: Unparalleled geology. Flagship of New Hampshire's park system.
Cons: Weather can sock in Cannon Mt. 24-48 hours at a time.

Tap the Reserves

by chinafrog , Dec 09 '00
Pros: fun experience
Cons: not for indoor people
I visited the park when I was 14 years old and the memory still remains vividly in my mind. I love taking long road trips, so when we drove 3 hours from home to the park I was almost disappointed. I wanted to see the White Mountains and to go up Mount...

Pros: Beautiful scenery!!
Cons: Limited indoor recreation in area in case of inclement weather
