There are lots of mountain bike trails in the area, including a small network accessible right from Bethlehem Main Street! We recommend checking out Trailforks to help plan a ride.
See this AllTrails list for some awesome White Mountains hiking in the area: https://www.alltrails.com/us/new-hampshire/bethlehem For anyone particularly adventurous, you can check out our engagement spot in Huntington Ravine on the east side of Mt. Washington.
Best ice cream in town...all we have to say!
Good if you are bringing a kid or two!
Drive down Rt 302 towards Bretton Woods Ski resort and look out for swimming holes in the river. There are plenty!
Ride a train up Mt. Washington! The world's first cog railroad (and Ethan really likes trains). We also frequently ski right next to it in the winter.
Home of the world’s longest penny candy counter (and Sugar Bob's souvenirs).
Scenic tram ride in Franconia notch. Like a huge gondola (not a train).
Generally a glorious area for this, especially towards Franconia Notch or Crawford Notch.
This is the wedding venue but it also has some awesome hiking trails on site.
