Natural Wonder
Our Take
The Flume Gorge holds all the magic of the White Mountains, with towering granite faces alongside stunning waterfalls within a dense forest. It feels like a hidden world, and if you can take the two-mile hike at a less crowded time, like first thing in the morning, you'll be able to meander over bridges and up the side of the gorge on boardwalks while truly enjoying the sound of the water rushing over the rocks, creating hundreds of swirling pools edged with beautiful moss and ferns. Be prepared for this to cost more than the typical state park admission, but there is a Discovery Pass which is actually a great deal since it includes the awesome tram up to Cannon Mountain, located a few miles up the road.
