The weather in the White Mountains in the spring can be unpredictable. Somedays it’s 70 degrees and sunny and other days it feels just like winter again. It's fun to spend your days outside hiking, biking, and exploring the best of Lincoln.

However, you should have some rainy-day alternatives planned just in case Mother Nature decides that the mountains need a little more rain for the flowers to bloom in time for summer. Here are some fun indoor things to do in the White Mountains!

Moose, as funny as they may look, are one of the most majestic animals in North America. Commonly found in New England, Alaska, and Canada, moose are the largest species of the deer family with the average male weighing about 805 pounds. While you can find moose throughout all the New England states, northern New Hampshire is one of the best places to spot them in the wild.

The White Mountains of New Hampshire are one of the best family-friendly travel destinations in all of New England. From hiking to water sports to shopping, there is plenty of family fun to have when the snow melts. While Disney World may be one of the "happiest places in the world," the White Mountains have to be a close second.

The area is home to a high concentration of family-friendly theme parks like Story Land, Santa's Village, Whale's Tale Waterpark and more. Splish splash at the waterparks on a hot summer day and watch the magic in your kid's eyes as they take a ride on Cinderella's Pumpkin Coach. Book a vacation this summer with your family and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Spring hiking in NH is spectacular. The trails are uncrowded, the wildflowers and trees are starting to bloom after a long winter, and the wildlife is just waking up and searching for food. While some people prefer to avoid New England during the Spring months due to a little thing we call “mud season,” it’s one of the best times of year for hiking.

Come Back To Your Roots This Summer!

On average, summer in the White Mountains is mild, making it the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors in the summer without getting too hot and muggy. The air is crisp, the trees are bright green, and the sun is shining. In the winter, people from New England often travel to Florida to get a taste of the sun and take a break from the cold.

The holidays, February vacation, and April vacation are the prime times of the year that New England families go south to visit their families in Florida. As the temperatures climb into the 100’s in Florida, the opposite happens! It’s not uncommon for New Englanders who have retired in Florida to go back up north for the summer.

Hearty New Englanders like to joke that we have five seasons – Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring, and Mud Season. As the snow begins to melt, the rivers start flowing a bit higher and faster, the gardens and wildlife flowers begin to bloom, and the mud puddles are found in abundance around town. Despite the mud, Spring in the White Mountains is a beautiful time of year to visit. The winter crowds are packing up their skis until next year’s big snowfall and the summer crowds have yet to arrive making the area a perfect place to visit if you’re looking for a quiet escape to the mountains.

You just spent the week in Costa Rica. You went ziplining, surfing, volcano trekking, and more. You saw sloths in the jungle, and you got sunburnt while sipping coconuts on the beach. Every day you were up early to experience as much of the culture as possible on your weeklong vacation. As you walked through your front door at home after a fantastic vacation, you realized how tired you really are. How many times have you thought “I need a vacation from my vacation?”
