Flume Gorge

Absolutely stunning… unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Even though the water level was low, it was still amazing and highly recommended. Kids are able to do the trail pretty easily. About 2.75-3 miles depending on what side trails you explore along the way. Lots of stairs (watch claims 30+ flights) but it doesn’t seem bad because it’s so great to look at.

Very beautiful place , it's a natural wonder! Its about 2 miles back and forth and takes almost 2 hrs to enjoy but you can spend more time if you like. Don't bring any open food or plan to eat there, it will attract bear. Lot of stairs and good hike with awesome views. Must see!

Well maintained trail. Enjoyed scenic views, gorge, and waterfall. It took us around 2 hours to complete the hike, not so difficult. We went during the fall 🍁 season, loved the beautiful and relaxing atmosphere

Took our time (about three hours) navigating all the trails to maximize our experience. While the weather wasn't great, we had pockets where it got better. Other hikers were super friendly and we had many great conversations. Highly recommend!

Review: The Flume Gorge—Where History Meets High Peaks The Flume Gorge, nestled within Franconia Notch State Park, is less a hike and more a journey through geological time. It is easily one of New Hampshire's most spectacular natural wonders, a perfect blend of rugged alpine scenery, fascinating human history, and breathtaking natural beauty, especially when framed by the fiery hues of autumn. The gorge's formation is a magnificent historical story: roughly 200 million years ago, molten rock cooled and fractured. Later, softer basalt dikes intruded into these fractures. When the Ice Age ended, massive glaciers melted, and the sheer force of the meltwater preferentially eroded the weak basalt, carving the "slot" we walk through today. You can still see colossal glacial erratics—huge, isolated boulders deposited randomly by the receding ice—which serve as silent reminders of the mile-thick sheet that once covered the land. Waterfalls, Rivers, and Rustic Charm The trail is defined by the life-giving force of water. At the far end of the flume, the roaring, 45-foot Avalanche Falls marks the location of one of the gorge's most famous tales: the massive, egg-shaped boulder that hung suspended between the walls until a great storm in 1883 swept it away. Below the main attraction, the circuit brings you to the picturesque Flume Covered Bridge, one of the oldest in the state, which spans the mighty Pemigewasset River. The vibrant red of the bridge, set against the swift currents of the river, is a highlight of the entire 2-mile loop. Peak Natural Beauty and Fall Colors While the moss-covered, dark granite walls hold a stark beauty year-round, visiting the Flume Gorge in autumn elevates the experience to truly unforgettable status. The fall colors are simply stunning, creating a dramatic contrast between the muted, ancient stone and the blazing canopy overhead. Every turn—from the cascades of Liberty Gorge to the views looking out over the Franconia Notch—is painted in brilliant shades of crimson, gold, and orange. Rest assured , the Flume Gorge offers a unique and highly accessible experience. It is a must-see for anyone seeking a deep connection with the raw natural beauty and ancient geological history of the White Mountains.

Breathtaking views and an enjoyable hike! Flume Gorge is absolutely stunning! The trail is well-maintained and perfect for most skill levels—easy enough to enjoy without too much effort, but with just enough stairs and inclines to keep it fun. The waterfalls, moss-covered granite walls, and scenic boardwalks through the gorge were like walking through a real-life postcard. The glacial boulder was a cool bonus, and the entire loop was a great mix of nature and light adventure. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the White Mountains—don’t forget your camera!

This was a great 2 mile hike! I’d recommend it to anyone. Wasn’t a hard hike. Many Beautful views. There is the full flume gorge hike which I’ve heard is amazing as well. Enjoy!

Stunning geological feature and an enjoyable walk. The trail is fairly easy and there is a viewing area if you don't want to walk it. The gorge is fascinating and strikingly beautiful. It can get very busy and the trails may be packed with people.

This is a must see, especially if you're here in the fall when the leaves are changing! But don't forget to make a reservation - it's for an hour long entry time, like 9-10 AM for example. But we saw several people show up without reservations and they were turned away. It's a 2.2 mile loop, definitely some uphill, downhill, and stairs, but we did it with our 3.5 and 2 year old and they did great with it (2 year old was in a hiking pack for half the time). Loved it here and would recommend this to anyone coming here in the fall!

Arrived just before 9 am. I completed the trail in 1 hour with multiple stops. It's steep in some areas. Easy to moderate. There are a couple of benches/resting spots along the trail. The trail is a loop. There is a section that's just a walkway, which is the most scenic and where the Gorge is. Overall very woody and mostly shaded. Well marked. The parking lot was fuller and there was a line for tickets when I was leaving.

Absolutely beautiful (and free) in the winter! Highly recommend, can see all the different patterns that the water freezes in!

We visited during peak foliage season and it was the perfect weather for a hike. It was warm just enough that we weren't freezing in the flume itself. The views were insane. Wouldn't even have known that this could be somewhere close by. During out visit, there were plenty of people there so the trail was very obvious to us. Even with less people, I think this is good beginner friendly trail as it is a cleared path the whole way. It took us almost 2 hours to do the whole trail since we stopped multiple times to take in the views. The most difficult part of the trail were the stairs but there aren't too many of them anyways.

Beautiful hike! The path was well maintained and easy to hike. There were lots of stairs and the trail was a bit sandy/rocky, so sneakers would be recommended (but not required). The water falls were gorgeous and we were able to see so many falls from different angles. There were maps along the path and lots of information board to explain what each spot was. This hike was very informative and enjoyable. The best part was that we were able to see a few mountains from this trail. We came at almost the peak time of foliage, that made our hike even better. Admission for adult was $21 at the gate, but we got our tickets online for $18. Reservations were not required, but it was better to order the tickets online for a $3 saving. You can just show the tickets on your phone. There was a food court and gift shop at the information building.

Really neat place. Got there too late on first day we went so got reservations and went back the next day. Overall very moderate hike. Lots of beautiful scenery although I imagine even more impressive when the water is really flowing earlier in the year. Definitely check out the visitors center area. Lots of cool historic pictures and info. Get the tickets online to get your reservation and also save $3.

Amazing! This is a moderate hike due to elevation game, some rocky and footy terrain, and lots of stairs. The flume is incredibly impressive to see. But there are more sights than the flume here. Don't wear sandals or flip flops. Bring water. Take breaks. Follow the trail counterclockwise. Enjoy!

This is a great spot to go walking. A lot of walking. Watch out for the crowds of people. Very beautiful views of nature and waterfalls You need to make an appointment to get in

Do not miss this spot!!!! This was my favorite part of our trip! The gorge is absolutely gorgeous! I can't even describe the feeling you get standing in the gorge with the walls many feet above you. It's gorgeous with greens growing throughout and a river going through. This trip is easy in the fact there there are stairs, ramps and flat trails for you to walk on. But it is a little difficult in that the first mile of the hike is a steep up hill climb. We made it though! and there are many spots to stop and take a photo and catch your breath if needed. Then the last mile is pretty much a descent back to where you started. TIP! Make sure to book your tickets in advance because they do sell out and they sell out fast and in advance. There were a lot of sad people who showed up just to find out there were no tickets available.

We took a trip in April, was a little chilly but we Hiked down to the red wood covered barn. Beautiful!

As a 52-yo somewhat out of shape grandma I will admit I complained about the hike most of the way, but the scenery made every step worth it!! If you're in the area take time for this natural wonder!

I had driven to Boston for a few days to visit my parents so drove up to New Hampshire and visited the White Mountain area so this was the first stop on my look around. Much different than visiting a museum! The White Mountains are tiny compared to the mountains out west as the tallest peak is Mount Washington but there is sone nice landscape. The Flume is an 800 foot Granite Gorge and you take a nice walk that is at least a mile and a half up and then back down the gorge with some wood walkways created for your safety and then some of it is paths thru the woods alongside the gorge.

Looking to see an abundance of waterfalls and lovely scenic views? Make sure to hit up the Flume Gorge while in the are. You won't regret it! We spent around 2 hours here but if desired, one could enjoy it for at least a half day. Steep steps and narrow walkways are included on the trail, so beware if that is something that strikes you away. Lovely. Can't wait to go back one day!

This was absolutely amazing!! I'm not an athlete person, so I was skeptical about the long walk. But it truly wasn't that bad, and my god it was worth it!!

Not sure if it's truly with $18 (the advance ticket price), but I guess you can't put a price on Mother Nature's beauty, right? The walk to the gorge isn't too hard and will take about 15-20 minutes. The stairways are well maintained; just don't be one of those folks that go in the opposite direction and ruin the vibe for the people going the correct direction. I wouldn't say this is something that you need to do more than once in your lifetime, so take your time!

Beautiful state park with grand views. Trails can be challenging for kids and out of shape folks- not recommended when wet( risk of falling/slipping on rocks and wood) Recommend ordering tickets on line beforehand; bring water on warm days

Make sure to include this to your white mountain itinerary! It's an absolutely lovely hike that most individuals can manage. Know before you go... yes this hike does charge a costly $20/pp entrance fee which I'll admit is quite steep but it was a very well maintained path and had restrooms available. If you aren't prepared to cover the cost, there are a lot of lovely hikes available in the park. You can stop in the visitor center and grab a trail map. The hike itself is somewhere between easy and moderate depending on your skill level. There were a couple of steep sections that may be challenging to some-but doable. The path does get a bit slippery in areas so wear appropriate footwear and you should be all set! It's a pleasant experience with excellent view points. Just remember that if you packed it in, you'll need to pack it out! Keep the trail pretty.

This is an incredible and genuine experience. To walk through the flume is to really understand how incredible plants are at surviving. A great value, a good work out. Highly recommended. Tremendously excellent.

You can see better views for free in the local areas vs paying $16 to hike 2 miles. The gorge area was cool and not bad but maybe worth $7 at the most. It's a long hike for practically nothing. The shops started closing up around 4 and had cold horrible pizza. My husband text me at 4:45 saying they closed everything and he'd be in the car cause they kicked him out. He's handicap so he couldn't do the hike. Had I known it would be a strenuous 2 mile hike for nothing I wouldn't have wasted both our time. The walkway by the waterfall is slippery and wet so be careful. There is a bus that will take you to first area and save you some hiking but no one bothered to tell me that. They handed me a ticket and map & walked off vs offering any info. Not impressed at all. We have a gorge in Georgia 10x this size and 1/2 the price. Nite: I went several years ago and transferring my reviews over from trip advisor so prices have probably changed

Beautiful hike! Be sure to buy your tickets online in advance as they do sell out. And my personal tip is go the earliest time you can to avoid crowds as this place is popular. Then bring a picnic and eat at one of the tables around the parking area and watch all the late comers stand in line!! The hike is awesome but not quite as easy as we anticipated. Some definite ups and downs with stairs at the steepest section. We just took our time and enjoyed the scenery and were probably there about 3 hours. No need to rush. And there are benches here and there if you want to sit. I would call this "moderate".

For those of you who have plans coming to visit the Flume Gorge during off season, it is opened with limited trail access. Though limited, there is enough things to do. The pathway to the flume gorge is restricted and blocked off during off season and can only seem afar. For us it was enough to do and the benefit of beating the crowd is the best thing.

Really a geriatric and family friendly hiking area to enjoy the gorge. They give you a leaflet of instruction upon entering. Onsite ticket purchase has an additional $3 fee and tickets are limited i guess to 300 per day. Parking space is way too ample. If you enjoy the view and have picture and video taken you then it would take you around 2 hrs to finish but if not then about an hour and 15 for moderate pace.

1. Purchase your tickets ahead of time during crowded periods (we did). All mid-day tickets were sold out on our visit. 2. Our 11:00 admission time was good for the 11:00-12:00 time slot. 3. Two 70 year olds took their time and finished the hike in 1:45. 4. As beautiful as advertised.

A natural scenic stroll through the woods in the peak of fall colors is nothing more than amazing. You learn to appreciate nature more and enjoy it with enjoy it with breath of fresh air. It was a short hike, an approximate 2 mile loop. There are multiple things to view in the short hike that are simply amazing....my favorite is a retreat growing on a glacial rock. My only reason for raking off a star and not giving it a 5 star is the $18 I had to pay with many other hikes that are right around a reasonable distance that are as beautiful and totally free.

Breathtaking. Authentic Autumn. Magnificent nature. Five words for a 5-Star experience. The Flume Gorge is located in Lincoln, New Hampshire and a great place to visit - especially when Fall foliage is at its peak. Bring your waking or hiking shoes for this trek (it takes about an hour and a half) and some people we saw were using their hiking or walking sticks. Most of the trail is not handicap accessible and - at one point - there are many stairs as you climb up to see the flume gorge. Also, the stairs are narrow at some points and it may be too high for those that are not fond of heights. These are by no means complaints, but rather a "heads up" for those deciding whether or not to venture here. The pictures do not do this place justice and I would've taken more pictures if my phone battery lasted longer. Covered bridges, flowing water and awesome rock formations are just some of the nature "eye candy" you'll come across. The crisp Autumn air and gorgeous leaf colors added to the ambiance and this was truly a storybook experience. There is no doubt that I will rerun here if I get the chance.

I was nervous that this would be overhyped and touristy, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Worth the visit, 100%. Tickets are $14 PP and need to be purchased in advance online. There are no ticket sales at the door because of Covid. Time slots are every hour, and you can see how many tickets are available online so you know if it's close to selling out. We visited later in the day (I believe it was the last time slot, at around 4) and this was the best decision. The space was so empty which made for gorgeous photo opps. You can tell that it gets packed because of how many stanchions are around. I can only guess that on a crowded day people wait in line for hours to actually get up to the flume. The flume is beautiful. The stairway snakes through the gorge and you basically walking through the middle of an incredible canyon with rushing waterfalls. Pictures don't do this justice, so be sure to see for yourself. The whole walkthrough takes around an hour and a half. You end at a gift shop with bathrooms, souvenirs and snacks. There is a large parking lot and it wasn't difficult to find a spot. This is also where you'll park for the Franconia Notch bike trail / park, so it's a nice place to leave your car if you are planning to hit both in a day. A can't miss if you visit the White Mountains!

As a family of four, we've avoided the Flume Gorge for years because of the entrance fee and the fact that there are several fantastic hikes nearby. Now that we've experienced it, I would recommend it and say it's worth the entrance fee. It wasn't so amazing that I'd return year after year, but definitely beautiful enough that I'm glad we did it. The uniqueness of this particular hike is the various sites you're able to view during the short hike. You'll see a covered bridge, water falls, a gorge, a 40-foot deep pool, pine bridge, and glacial boulders. While there are a lot of stairs and uphill walking, I would consider this an easy hike that can be enjoyed by many. The State Parks website says to plan 1.5 hours to hike the loop but we did it in less than an hour (we walked straight through and didn't stop repeatedly at the various sites). I was impressed with NHSP for their COVID precautions. They've blocked the trail off as a one-way only trail to prevent unnecessary contact with others. You have to reserve your date and time online ahead of time as they manage the number of individuals that enter the premises at any one time.

A friend and I visited during a little bit of a downpour, but it was beautiful anyway! Also, maybe because of the rain, it wasn't super busy, which was great. The gorge was gorgeous (ha...ha....). The price was a little high, but it was totally worth it. Definitely make the stop if you're going by.

It is a nice view. I did this hike through Osseo trail (out and back). I also hiked up to Mt.Liberty at the same hike. The total is 12 miles +/- 4000 elevation gain. Since it is November, microspikes were essential, but in summer it should be more straightforward. Winter and Summer hike gives you a very different scenery. There is another trailhead to go to these peaks, but crampons and ice axe are needed for that route in winter.

Great place for a short hike and a climb through the gorge. Nice place to cool off during the summer and nice foliage in the fall.

This place is amazing. Breath taking views at every turn. I would be cautious during rainy season for slippery areas. Bring frozen water bottles to have cool water throughout your walk. Definitely wear non slip comfortable sneakers or hiking boots. The trails are amazing and not too bad to manage for littles or elderly that are still able to walk long distances. Some areas do requires slight climbing and descending of stairs. Highly recommended and I would definitely come back if in the area again.

Beautiful nature flume gorge. Takes about 2 hours and is 2 miles. Half of it is uphill and can get very tiring for someone out of shape like me. But it's beautiful and worth it. Our 3 1/2 year old son did it easily. We also got lunch at the food court. We got the pizza, buffalo tenders and tuna sandwich. All decent, not super fresh. They had alot of options, healthy ones we well. All in all beautiful day!

What a gorgeous, well-maintained, clean, unique spot. I came here in June with my boyfriend during our whirlwind Franconia hiking/camping extravaganza. After hiking Franconia Ridge, we were ready for some more relaxed exploring. Flume Gorge entrance is beautiful and easy to find; ample parking and plenty of bathrooms, a gift shop, and a small cafeteria. Entrance fee is $16 - which is kind of a lot, but when you walk through the whole thing and see how clean it is, it makes sense. There's a shuttle that brings folks directly up to the falls, but we decided to do the full walk. Heads up - there are a lot of stairs. It is also tourist town - but hey, as Mainers, we were tourists too! Unbelievable views of the falls, and small side steps with wooden railings allow for less-traveled views of the park. It's overall maybe an hour to an hour and a half of a walk/hike. It is kind of a workout - be prepared, bring water, wear sneakers. I'd give this five, but I was frustrated that there was not a single bathroom or compost toilet along the trail. It's kind of a long trail, and some of us need accessible bathrooms! That was disappointing and kind of upsetting. But I'm probably in the minority on that one. Definitely check this out if you're in the area. It's a lovely, beautiful thing to see.

Beautiful hike no matter the season. Flume gorge trail remains open for the winter season but the visitor center and facilities are all closed. To get to the trail entrance, walk towards the visitor center and to the left of the center there is a sign that says 'winter hiking trail, hike at your own risk'. They try to mitigate foot traffic on the trail so it flows in one direction which is appreciated in this pandemic time. The waterfall section of hike is closed off to hikers, but open for ice climbers. I recommend wearing yaktraks or some kind of treads for your boots because there are slippery spots along the trail.

Even in the middle of winter with snow on the ground, this place is gorgeous! There is plenty of parking and hiking trails. Though the park is technically closed for the winter and there are tons of signs posted enter at your own risk. We decided to take the long way down to the gorge and covered bridge. We were lucky it was considerably warmer that day and we did not have to walk on sheets of ice, however some spots were still slippery. If you have a good pair or snow boots with plenty of traction you will be just fine. If it is colder out I would recommend snowshoes or chains on the bottom or your boots. Its probably a half mile trek to the gorge. It is so worth it. The water is crystal clear & makes for beautiful pictures. The covered bridge that was built in 1886, is an amazing landmark and piece if history. They were doing renovations at the main building and walking back to the car with nothing but rolling mountains behind you is an incredible way to spend the afternoon. I honestly would love to visit this place in the fal with all the beautiful foliage and do a nice hike or two.

Loved our visit to the flume gorge in the beautiful white mountains. We researched a few other similar spots in the area including lost River gorge and polar caves but chose the flume based on some other reviews and our desire to not climb in caves. There was the option of two caves here but the flume was an incredible geological wonder worth a visit. There were numerous viewing spots with just the right amount of rigor. One tip I hadn't implemented I wish I had: bug spray. Beautiful views and educational signed along the path.

Bit of a drive to go on a shortened trail for a gorge. My friends indicated that a few of the paths they went through during the previous visits were closed off. The views here are gorgeous even without all the opened paths. I know swimming or going into "The Pool" area is forbidden, but I so wish I was swimming in that (I really love swimming). Did see a few people going over the barrier, but obviously, please don't break rules. I don't know if I'll come back, but if a friend wanted to see it, I don't mind.

This is a great place to go to take in the natural beauty of the cascading waterfalls, moss-covered granite walls, historic covered bridges, massive boulders & glacial pools. You can absolutely get some beautiful photos! The hike itself can be a bit tiring as it is steep with a lot of stairs, but it's not exhausting. There is a quick route if you want to opt out of the entire thing.. But if you can do it, I say complete it! Be sure to wear proper footwear. They also have a gift shop and cafe on the property.

Beautiful, we could do it with 2 two year olds and a 70 year old without too much trouble. Not wheelchair accessible, but worth the views!

This is an easy, family friendly hike with gorgeous views. However, it's extremely touristy and large groups tend to stop for long periods of time making it difficult to pass. I rated 5 stars based on the views and ease of a hike.

The Flume is a natural gorge in Lincoln, New Hampshire that's over 800 feet in length; the walls reaching upwards of 90 feet. There's a two mile loop from the Visitor's Center that brings you along river beds, waterfalls, rocky cliff sides, enormous trees, and more. Apparently The Flume was discovered in the early 1800's by a woman named Jess Guernsey when she stumbled upon it while fishing. It's just so much more beautiful - AND BIG! - then pictures can explain. It felt like I was at the bottom of a big canyon, looking up into hundreds of shades of green hues adorning centuries and centuries of natural change. Entrance is under $20, which is a little steep, but there's no doubt in my mind that the money is being used for the right reasons: the park is in pristine shape. In the past several decades, it's had a serious upgrade from rickety, death-defying ladder bridges to overwhelmingly safe wooden ones allowing those of all ages and mobility the opportunity to walk up the flume alongside the wet rock. There are so many spots to enjoy including caves, a picture worthy stop against rocks called The Cathedral, labeled flora ("bunchberries" I thought were "bRunchberries", wild blueberries, and all sorts of other very cool moss, lichen, and plants), and absolutely stunning waterfalls. Seriously: this place is nature at it's breathtaking finest. What a wonderful way to spend a day in the summer or autumn! I know that this is a weird comparison, but I liked this place the same way I liked Stonehenge. Did it feel touristy? Sure. Were there a lot of people? Sure. But did it feel "bigger than me"? Yes, and it's nice to remember the world is a very big, very old place sometimes.

Beautiful attraction located off exit 34A in the Notch area of the White Mountains. The 2 mile hiking trail takes visitors through picturesque waterfalls and the Gorge itself is beautiful. We even saw a couple of deer gently grazing no more than 15' away. The Gorge is a cool refreshing wonder upon arrival, with temps around 60 degrees in the Summertime. They also have a gift shop, cafe, and plenty of parking. Can easily be done within about 2.5 hours. I recommend getting the Discovery Pass for the dual attraction discount to the nearby Cannon Tramway.

this review is for the $6/hour ticket booth attendee who thinks she's god. STEPHANIE... AKA- KAREN... yelled at me and someone else. she yelled at me cause i already purchased my ticket and needed to get something out of my car. upon arrival back to the ticket area, there was a very long line of people that NEEDED tickets and i already HAD my ticket- so i went around everyone. Stephanie then CHARGED out of her booth screaming "you have to go through the line! can't go back here!" "i already have my ticket", i explained. "DOESN'T MATTER!" she fired back. then perceived to borate me cause i needed to pee AFTER i bought my ticket (which takes you out of the line). forget your asthma inhaler & need to get it out of your car? need to grab a jacket from your car? need to check to make sure your car doors are locked? need to grab some sunglasses? want to get a snack at the gift shop BEFORE your hike? need to fill up your water bottle first? FORGET IT!! Stephanie will make sure your a** goes on the trail and ONLY the trail after getting your ticket. you can't leave for ANY reason! As i was standing in the 'NEED TO PURCHASE TICKETS LINE', when i already my ticket- i was behind a couple that was then yelled at by Stephanie again, but this time cause they had a therapy dog. "No Dogs!" she exclaimed! even after they ALREADY purchased their tickets as well and were ok'd by another person they could have the dog. need to put your dog back inside the burning hot car with the windows up cause Stephanie hates every living thing? FORGET IT! overall, Stephanie ruined this experience for me and everyone else she talked to that day. terrible human with a distaste for life. hire people who at least like smiling. the price for this is also steep at $21. it. could be half price and it would STILL be expensive. but i'm of the mindset that nature should be free or a minimal charge to make sure the land is taken care. gouging tourists is a whole other thing.

Amazing walk! Loved the bear cave and wolf den! The walk is roughly 2 hours, if you have an Apple Watch don't forget to start that outside walk!

I can write this review having been to Flume before and after a pandemic. It had truly been engaging prior to Covid-19 but now is lack luster. A lot of attractions were no longer available. Informational signage was no longer on the trial. It now reminded me of chasm I have locally which can be enjoyed free of charge. I understand maintaining a gorge cost money but you have to offer something more than just a view. Would I come back? Probably not.

Visited the Flume Gorge on July 31, 2022. On the short 2 mile hike, you will see a handful of waterfalls and a covered bridge. While the "hike" is short and family friendly, I thought the $21 admittance fee was a little steep, especially when you are already surrounded by a lot of free hiking trails. If you're looking for an hour of so to kill some time, this is for you. Just keep in mind it is $21 a person for an adult ticket.

This is a gorgeous area! I had no idea what to expect here since we came to enjoy the Fall foliage. They have a very nice visitor center with restrooms before you begin the trek. There are several options that get you to the gorge, so stop by the ranger desk to see what is best for you.

When I was planning my trip across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, this was my top destination for New Hampshire. And honestly, I did not know what to expect. When we started along our hike I was not impressed. And then you finally get to the gorge itself. For as many different natural beauties that I have seen, I have not seen something like this before. We were upset at first that we were paying PER PERSON. But when you get to the views, it was worth ever dollar.

The Flume Gorge offers spectacular scenery that only the naked eye can absorb. 360 degree views everywhere. A sensory experience on a quiet early Summer day, crossing paths with only a handful of people. 73 degrees & perfect conditions made me linger all along the way to take it in. I spent a leisurely 3 hours & highly recommend this hike. In addition to photos, I posted several videos.
