Exploring the Natural Beauty of Flume Gorge in New Hampshire

Tucked away in the heart of New Hampshire's White Mountains lies the breathtaking Flume Gorge, a natural wonder that attracts visitors from far and wide. While it may seem pricey to hike this beautiful gorge, the stunning scenery and unique geological formations make it well worth the cost.

The Flume Gorge is characterized by its towering 90-foot high granite walls, which were carved out over thousands of years through erosion. A network of hiking trails and boardwalks allows visitors to explore the gorge at their own pace, taking in the awe-inspiring views along the way. The sheer scale of the gorge is reminiscent of famous natural wonders like the Grand Canyon, and it's easy to see why this destination is a must-see for outdoor enthusiasts.

Our family had planned to spend more time exploring Franconia Notch State Park, where we were staying at the Lincoln Woodstock KOA. However, due to the inclement weather that plagued our visit (it seemed to rain every day!), we didn't get as much hiking in as we had hoped. Despite this, we still managed to squeeze in a morning at the Flume Gorge and a hike to Artist's Bluff.

In addition to its natural beauty, the Flume Gorge is also a great place to learn about the geology and history of the area. Interpretive signs and exhibits provide insight into the gorge's formation and the unique plants and animals that call it home.

As we reflect on our time in New Hampshire, we're grateful for the opportunity to explore this beautiful state and all its natural wonders. And with summer just around the corner, we can't wait to start planning our next adventure!
