I highly recommend you check this out if you're in the area; the fall was a beautiful time to go!

I did feel 100% safe the whole time though. The instructors were good about suiting us up with the ropes in the beginning, and they all were friendly, had great senses of humor, and were so patient in calming down us scaredy cats!! I think there were about 9 lines in total and the whole thing took about 2 hours? Maybe 3? They were all fun and unique! There were also opportunities to walk across rope bridges and rappel down. Loads of fun! I would definitely do this again.

Take a scenic eight-minute ride in one of two enclosed cable cars to the 4,200-foot summit of Cannon Mountain. Along the way, enjoy panoramic views of the distant valleys, mountains, Echo Lake, and black bears (no we did not find any, but the guide said so :P ) Also, you'll be able to view parts of New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, New York, and Canada! Once at the summit you can hang out on the outdoor deck that overlooks the mountains or grab lunch & drinks at Cafe 4080 that's located next to the air tram. Fee: $25 PP but make an online reservation, Time is allotted and if you are late, you would have to wait for another cabin and if that is full, then wait for another cabin. our time slot was 2:!5, we reached 2:30, they stopped us and at 3:15 - there were few spots, so then they allowed us. so be mindful

We got there 10minutes early and were informed some guidelines to follow. Got myself a hat since I forgot to bring one was pretty cold. Since it was during offseason we were only ones there. We were escorted to the gear house and equipped with helmet, safety harness and a latch. The staff gave us a ride to the zip line course and took a truck up the hill. They did tell us to make sure to keep helmet on and seatbelt because it was going to be rough ride up due to it being mud season. It sure was a rough ride up and probably was in the air quite a few times during the ride. I looked at one of the staff and used my foot to secure myself like he was doing to keep myself stable which helped. It was definitely the toughest part of the experience. Once we got to the zip line area we were given a brief instructions for safety and we buckled up and started our zip line session. In the beginning it was a bit intimidating but the staffs were all very nice and made us feel safe during the experience. Once we got going it was very enjoyable and thrilling. It was cold but we were mostly prepared and dressed warm and the hat I purchased helped. The views were also beautiful. At the end we got to go in a treehouse and take some picture at the end. After we finished we were escorted back to the truck and took the van to the main facility which was a mild ride compared to on the way. We dropped off our equipments and left the facility. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and had a great time. Everyone was nice and accommodating made us feel safe. It was also nice that we were only ones there because we got a private session and full attention during the experience. Definitely would recommend for those that enjoy or beginner who would like to try zip lining. My partner who can be la little anxious about these experience enjoyed it and was perfectly fine throughout the experience. The experience was a bit on pricier side but I think it was worth it.

My husband found it while looking for something unique to do, and what I expected to be a fun winter activity turned into an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we could tell this wasn't just a business -- it's a passion. We loved interacting with both the puppies and the seasoned sled dogs who quite literally do much of the heavy lifting. During our sled ride through the White Mountains forest, we enjoyed the sights and learning. The dogs are treated like family, and are happy, affectionate, and genuinely excited to run. One of the most meaningful parts was talking with the mushers and learning how they came to Muddy Paw and how the dogs begin training. We also learned that when the dogs retire around 8-10 years old, many are adopted by families who've taken the tour. I'd be lying if I said my husband, kids, and I don't already have a list of dogs we hope to adopt someday -- we've even reached out to express interest! This is more than an excursion -- it's an experience filled with heart, care, and joy. I can't recommend it enough.

I would definitely come back simply to spend more time with the dogs! It was a cool experience and even better that we got to have some snow on the ground while doing so.

We had to fight with the wind but thankfully we won The prices have gone up ($36 per person) but we totally get it as they have to spend tons in maintenance. They do a great job at it. There are many nooks that you can stop at to appreciate the views and different vantage points. Pro tip: no matter how warm it is, make sure you bring a coat of some sort if you're going up. Better if you bring a winter hat. You're gonna need them.

The folks working for the Scenic Train were very friendly and helpful. The building and the train cars seem well maintained. They are clean and for the most part, comfortable. We took the comfort class because we wanted the A/C. The seats are in a restaurant booth configuration. However, if you are a larger person such as me, your belly will be pushed against the table for 4 hours. (My fault, not the train's) For most of the ride out you listen to a very nice narrator talk about the history of the area as you ride though people's backyards. The local children seem to enjoy the train and were in costume on their back deck waving to us on the train. We saw about 30 minutes of some very good views. There is a short stop at a tourist trap store before heading back the same way. (Use the restroom here, the ones on the train as smaller than a phone booth.) We did switch sides for the ride back and got to see the backyards of the houses on the other side of the tracks. The boxed lunch was a sandwich, a bag of chips, a whoopie pie, and a bottle of water. I have to say the sandwich was very good. The roll was soft, fresh, and flavorful. The bag of chips was not just a tiny bag, but a good size. The whoopie pie was very good. It was $20, overpriced, but at least it was quality. I really wanted to like this train ride but it turned out to be uncomfortable for such a long ride, too long, and not all that scenic.

When you park there is a kiosk to pay that takes credit cards. At the start of the trail there is a bathroom that is just a big outhouse. It was a little rough so I recommend not using it if you get sick easy. The hike is short and easy to the water. When you get there it is a little tough climbing over rocks and tree roots. We spend time in the water. It was not deep anywhere we were so not really swimming just cooling off or sun tanning on the rocks.

Not only was our guide, CHRIS, great at the intro of how to make the intimidating machines work, but it was so helpful having someone show us were to make every turn and how to get to the best local scenic vistas. When they say show up 40 minutes early, you should. There were 3 other groups leaving around the same time as us, so lots of people had to be checked, sign paper work, finish getting geared up, sized for helmets, go thru the quick in office introduction to the weather and what we'd be doing on our tour, take the VERY short ride to the departure point, and finally learn how to operate the machines. They give you the full amount of your tour time ON the machines out in the forest, so show up early to make sure you get your money's worth. 100% recommend for beginners and anyone else looking to try snowmobiling in the area without the hassle of having to figure out the trail system themselves. And ask for CHRIS, he was relaxed, helpful, knowledgable AND a willing photographer ;)
