The beauty of New Hampshire is on display throughout the year, but as you can probably guess we’re slightly partial to fall. With the autumn leaves changing and the temperature dipping, there’s something extra special about being outside in nature. We’ve been rounding up as many outdoor activities as we can lately, but this one is something a bit different than your typical hiking trip. A canopy tour in New Hampshire might be just the thing to make this fall a bit more unique.

Hidden among the trees at Bretton Woods at the Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, this canopy tour is truly something special.

Above the ancient hemlocks of the forest are a network of zip lines, sky bridges and platforms that allow visitors to experience the area like a a bird might.

Victor P / TripAdvisor The company is committed to being environmentally sustainable, which is they all the wood used in the platforms is locally harvested.

You’ll begin at Base Camp by being outfitted with your harness and safety gear. You’ll go through a safety training and have the chance to ask questions. From here, you’ll head up the mountain!

Each three hour canopy tour features nine zip lines, ranging from 120 - 830 feet in length, two sky bridges and 16 tree platforms.

And, each journey consists of only only 8 people at a time, which means visitors have personalized attention and lots of one-on-one time to ask questions of their guides.

With the time spent on each platform, guides educate their groups about the trees, animals and geology of the area.

The course is open to everyone over the age of 12, with a 4'6" height requirement.
