Rails & Sails of New Hampshire

Waterville Valley, NH

Day 1: Welcome Aboard!  Today we journey through spectacular scenery on our way to the White Mountains of New Hampshire.  We arrive at our rustic Country Inn, the Snowy Owl Inn which is located in the center of Waterville Valley Resort, with comfortable living and sitting areas, for three nights.  Bring your bathing suit.  The Inn has spas and saunas, and indoor and outdoor heated pools.  Included upon arrival at the Inn, enjoy a welcome reception, followed by a delicious dinner.      

Day 2: After a hearty continental breakfast we meet our step-on guide, and depart for the M/S Mount Washington for a narrated cruise on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire’s largest lake.  You will have some time to explore Wolfeboro Village, a picturesque New England community, and  browse its many specialty shops and restaurants before we continue onto Moultonborough.  We arrive at Castle in the Clouds for a self-guided tour of this Mansion, that captures the natural splendor of New Hampshire’s Ossipee Mountains and looks down on Lake Winnipesaukee.  This evening, we board the Lake Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad for a delicious roast turkey dinner.  This relaxing train trip travels along the shores of the lake, with views of the summer cottages, and this beautiful sparkling lake.        

Day 3: After a hearty continental breakfast we meet our step-on guide, and depart for the Loon Mountain Gondola.  We’ll ride New Hampshire’s longest sky ride to the summit for a spectacular panoramic view!  Along the way to Bretton Woods, our guide will offer a narrated tour through the White Mountains from Franconia Notch to Mount Washington.  We arrive at the Mount Washington Cog Railway and you’re in for an unforgettable experience.  You’ll enjoy magnificent scenery, marvel at the excitement of real steam locomotives in action, and climb the tallest mountain in the Northeast.  It’s an experience like no other - simply one of the world’s great railway adventures!  This evening we are treated to a delicious dinner at a restaurant where we enjoy some great local flavor before returning to the Inn.
