The easiest way to reach the top of Mount Washington , the highest elevation in New England, is on the steep Cog Railway. Strawbery Banke was the name of the first 1623 settlement at what is now Portsmouth. The first aerial tramway in North America still carries its passengers to a summit high above Franconia Notch and Flume Gorge, an 800 foot-long crack in the rock. Hampton Beach has been a popular resort town since the turn of the 20th century. Winnepesaukee Lake, a beehive of summer activity, was the setting for the movie “On Golden Pond”, featuring the Fonda’s. Covered bridges are a part of the landscape : a “kissing bridges tour” is the best way to discover them all !
