OVERVIEW

Travel through the extraordinarily scenic White Mountains in a meticulously restored 1950s-era railway car that evokes a period when life was more leisurely. You will get a hint of the natural beauty that lies ahead on the drive to North Conway, a delightful town in New Hampshire near the White Mountain National Park. After a bit of free time to explore, you will board the Conway Scenic Railroad in the 19th-century train station and settle in for a breathtaking ride through the majestic White Mountains, which cover nearly a quarter of the state. Along the way, you will pass over towering trestles, through Mount Washington Valley and up into an alpine setting that is spectacularly photogenic. Enlightening commentary will enhance the experience by describing the points of interest in fascinating detail. You will eventually disembark at the late 19th-century Crawford Notch train station. At an elevation of 1,900 feet, it too offers panoramic views.
