Dondero's is one of my favorite rock and stones stores. Every time we visit No. Conway we make sure to make a trip there. I love that I can be guaranteed to find a beautiful specimen, for a specific person / theme I am shopping for AND be able to find one that has been mined locally (for me, that's Maine / NH). Just went there today and found a few perfect business Christmas gifts to give to the virtual contractors who work with me, and stones to make wire wrapped earrings with. The owner is so nice and thoughtful to kids that are shopping with their families, which I greatly appreciate, having twin 9 year olds who LOVE and collect stones, minerals, rocks and crystals. Highly recommend.

The best cigar bar I have ever been in. Unrivaled choice of cigars in professional humidor. Peggy was awesome and Brian was a top notch server. Relaxed atmosphere. Spent a Saturday afternoon with the boys watching the Bruins and Red Sox on separate tv's. Giant bar, and two large additional rooms with big leather couches and comfy leather chairs. Can't wait to go back.

We had only 4 hours to experience this amazing road so had to focus on few specific spots. Made some research online beforehand and decided on these 4 stops which did not disappoint! Started from the North Conway eastern entrance we stopped at the Saco Ranger Station and paid 5$ for a parking daily pass. (You have to pay only if you plan on stopping and parking on the way). There were also self service - pay your fee on site stations but you had to have the exact amount in cash to use them. Our Top stops were: 1. Albany Covered Bridge 2. Lower Falls Scenic Area 3. Rocky Gorge Scenic Area 4. Sabbaday Falls We were traveling on the beginning of the Foliage season and the colors and ambiance were perfect! Not much to eat on the way so it is best to make some sandwiches and stock on some snacks and water before entering. On the other side near Lincoln we had a terrific dinner at Black Mt. Burger Co – highly recommended!!!

This hiking area is perfect for beginners to enjoy marvels of nature.
Reviewed By 724miac - Nahant, United States
I come here when visiting the area as often as possible (over the past 40 years) and love to take visitors here. It's an easy hike, a well-maintained trail, and a beautiful waterfall. I never tire of taking pictures here. It is uphill of course and much of the path is gravel.
10. Tuckerman Brewing Company
Overall Ratings

Owners Nik & Kirsten opened for business in 1998. Fueled by a passion for quality beer and the desire to live the White Mountain lifestyle to its fullest; taking advantage of, but never taking for granted, the spectacular area we call home. Tuckerman Brewing Co is now one of the longest-running owner-operated breweries in the state.

We were able to stop in one late afternoon on our recent trip and taste their great brews. Great staff and lots of outdoor space to sit and enjoy a cold beer with a hot pretzel. Would definitely recommend and visit again!
