My mom is from New Hampshire, but I have never been. I’d love to go check these places out. Certainly on my list of places I want to visit.

What a beautiful place! It sounds like it might be too difficult to do with our 5 year old but maybe we head over when she is a little but bigger. All though, she does really well in stairs. I love seeing the glacial boulders. I’m originally from Finland and we have a lot of those there. It reminds me of home. But the main site is of course the falls. They are amazing!

I haven’t been to New Hampshire yet but am planning a road trip, so I add a hike to Flume Gorge to my itinerary. The scenery is breathtaking, especially as I love waterfalls. I want to hike the boardwalk to the giant gorge and take photos of the water and the granite wall. Also, covered bridges are unique, especially the Sentinel-covered bridge from 1939. Glacial Boulder, with its weight, is an impressive formation.

Flume Gorge hike seems quite interesting. I have always liked short hikes in nature. It seems I would love this one as well. I really like the way you have described the place along with a few historicala nd geographical facts. Sentinel Pine Bridge looks amazing as well and the fact on how it was formed is pretty interesting. The view from the Avalanche Falls is quite spectacular. This hike just looks perfect for a day trip.

This is timely! We are actually spending the holiday in New Hampshire and will see if we can include this in our itinerary.

Interesting fact on covered bridges. I really thought it was for travelers. Thank you for sharing this. Learned something new today.

My 5yr old just learnt about volcanos and we were just looking at the possible volcanoes that can be visited and I come across your blog. Good to know that it is only 2 miles. That’s something my little one would be able to easily manage. The concept of Glacial boulders is interesting & the tree wrapped around it is awesome. The boardwalk is definitely a great way to see the whole place in a comfortable way.

I have driven past the sign for Flume Gorge many a time on my way through Franconia Notch – but never stopped! I can see what a mistake that has been… This is such a quintessential New Hampshire scene, with rock-filled rivers and waterfalls, and of course, a covered bridge. I’ve taken these types of big boulders for granted and I’m so surprised to hear the one pictured in Flume Gorge is glacial! That really puts the history of this beautiful place in perspective. Next time, I’m going to stop!!

Flume Gorge is one of my highlights during our summer trip to the New England states back in 2021. I think it is very beautiful nature! In fact, the whole hike is beautiful from the beginning to the end. You are right though, it is a little difficult in some places because of the uphill walking, slopes, and stairs. But you don’t walk on rocky terrain like in Texas and it’s shaded. So, it’s really enjoyable. I want to check it out during the fall season. I read that the Flume Covered Bridge is one of the best places to visit during Fall.

New Hampshire was not a place I associated with good hiking before I read your post. But I must say Flume Gorge looks really amazing. I am a climber too and I always enjoy interestingly shaped rocks (even if I cannot climb them).
