Having spent a good amount of time in the White Mountains of New Hampshire growing up, I enjoy returning to the area whenever I get a chance. While many people opt for the shopping mecca of North Conway, I prefer to visit the “quiet side” of the mountains in the area around Franconia Notch.

New Hampshire Maple Weekend
If you happen to be in northern New England during late February or March, are you in for a treat! Maple sugaring is a tradition that has been taking place in New England for centuries. Although the process has evolved over the years to what it is today, generations and generations of New Englanders have been tapping maple trees every spring to create maple syrup. Maple sugaring is so much a part of the northern New England culture that the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association now has a weekend set aside to celebrate this time honored tradition (Vermont and Maine have similar celebrations).
