Thanksgiving is the perfect time to pause, reflect on what you’re grateful for, and reconnect with loved ones, all while enjoying delicious, homemade food! However, this year you might be looking to change things up a bit – so why not make it an unforgettable experience by escaping to the cozy, picturesque White Mountains of New Hampshire? Here are just a few of the exciting ways you can spend your Thanksgiving break here at the Buttonwood Inn, just down the road from the hidden gem, North Conway!
Thanksgiving the North Conway Way
There’s no shortage of ways to celebrate Thanksgiving when you’re visiting this special area. Some of the many celebrations, festivities, and events you can check out near North Conway and the Buttonwood Inn include:
Take a Thanksgiving Day Hike
The White Mountains have some of the most impressive and beautiful hiking trails in the country – that’s a fact! Consider taking your family to check out Diana’s Baths, Cathedral Ledge, or even Black Cap Trail, all of which are reasonable in length and offer breathtaking, picture-worthy views that you can’t get back home.
Annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot
If you aren’t into hiking, there’s always good old-fashioned running. Hosted by the Omni Mount Washington Hotel, kick off Thanksgiving morning with this fun, family-friendly 5K run or walk through the scenic streets of the festively decorated town. It’s a great way to get moving before coming back to your favorite bed & breakfast and enjoying a holiday feast.
Early Winter Fun at Cranmore Mountain
For those who are eager to embrace the snowy season, Cranmore Mountain often opens its slopes in late November, offering skiing, snowboarding, and other family-friendly activities. Work up an appetite while hitting the slopes and then come back, unwind, and enjoy your holiday feast before getting back out there the next day.
Enjoy the Conway Scenic Railroad
There are few activities as memorable as riding the Conway Scenic Railroad during the autumn season. The fall colors are simply incredible; shades of orange, gold, and crimson fill the landscape, and you’ll certainly want to bring your camera to help capture such astonishing views.
Spend Your Thanksgiving at the Buttonwood Inn
The Buttonwood Inn provides a true home-away-from-home atmosphere, surrounded by stunning fall foliage and gorgeous mountains – that sometimes even have an early dusting of snow. You’ll also be able to enjoy an incredible Thanksgiving Day meal, as well as complimentary hot cider, cocoa, and baked goods by a toasty fire each evening.
It might not be easy to imagine yourself spending the day away from your usual traditions, but while you’re here, we’re happy to help you make new ones! This Thanksgiving, let someone else do the cooking and cleaning while you focus on making cherished memories with your loved ones.
