My First Time in New Hampshire! Mount Washington Cog Railway & Hotel, Gunstock Ski Resort & More

My first time in the beautiful New Hampshire! I had an amazing first day, with a clear blue sky and a hot chocolate and marshmallow break overlooking the mountains after a neat cog railway ascension. The day went with gorgeous landscapes and cool visits to different places... enjoy the video! More to come next week 🤩😎

    New Hampshire. One of my favorite places I have never been. Don't ask me how I know, I just know. The rainbow you saw around the Sun is called a 'Sundog'. It is not unusual to see these in the mountains when the ice crystals are being blown around in the wind.

    I’m so glad you were able to visit my state of New Hampshire. I live in southern New Hampshire near the Massachusetts border. We are close to the ocean, the mountains and Boston. There are many people in New Hampshire with French-Canadian ancestry. My Mothers family are from the Canadian province of Quebec. My Fathers family have been in Massachusetts and New Hampshire since the 1630s during the Great Puritan Migration. You should come back in the Fall to see the New England Fall Foliage. Vermont and Maine are also fantastic states to visit in the fall.

    Thank you for visiting New Hampshire, my new home. I grew up in New Mexico and California, and for most of my adult years, I lived in the Boston area. But now, for the last five years, New Hampshire has been home, and I'm glad of it. Our state nickname is the "Granite State" and our state motto is "Live Free or Die" which both tell you a lot about the kind of people we have here - solid and freedom-loving. We hope you come back. By, the way, there are sections of New Hampshire where French is spoken because of the French-speaking people coming from parts of Canada, It's a great place!

    As a resident of New Hampshire from the early 70's to the mid 80's, my high school and college years, I loved every minute I spent there. It was nice to see the old stomping grounds, I specifically remember going to the U.S. Ski Jumping Championships at Gunstock in 1977. It was a cold beautiful day, like the one you experienced, and still brings a smile to my face when I think about it. "Live Free Or Die". A truly gung ho attitude, and the state motto.

    It's great that you're traveling to so many parts and seeing how different everywhere is. Most tourists just go to New York City and think they've seen the Northeast, but traveling around New England is what the Northeast really is. You can be in a major city like Boston and 30 minutes later be in the woods and mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, or go 20 minutes south of Boston and be in the beautiful seaside communities and beaches of Cape Cod.

    The "rainbow without rain" was a sun dog. It's the same principal but created by ice crystals instead of water droplets and very high in the sky. It's not uncommon in the Winter and there would have been another one on the other side of the sun.

    I went up the Cog Railway once on the last day of the year that it went to the summit. It was in the 50s at the bottom, and at the top there was a -3 windchill. We could see a thing because the top was socked in with clouds. The wind had blown them so that everywhere there was frozen cloud on railings and the like. It looked like turkey feathers. It was so cool to see frozen cloud.

I left there in 08' and when I win a lottery or get one of my books on the best seller list I may move back there. All of those places are very familiar to me. Thank you Marie.... If you need a good book to read, I have a new one coming out on Amazon in about a month. 'When All The Pieces Come Together' It is an adventure involving Caucasian and Native American neighbors in a very rural setting. It takes place in Norther Wisconsin with the Chippewa and a man named Stedman Doss. Next year's book takes place in New Hampshire 300 years ago. It will be called 'The Rumford Diaries'. Well, Marie. Enjoy your time here. Wishing for you All Good Things. Your Kansas Grandpa.

Here's a video of my last ride up the Cog about 3 years ago, all the way to the summit. You got a PERFECT day for the train ride. I worked at the Mt. Washington Hotel from 1991-1994, before it was open year round and was only open from May to October. I am so glad you got to see what I consider "real" New Hampshire. You headed to the White Mountains, where I grew up.

    We vacationed in New Hampshire years ago, and had a great time there. We took the Cog Rail all the way to to the top of Mt Washington, but we could only stay up there about an hour or so, as the train started back down. The miners had sleds to slide back down the rails at the end of the day.

    High altitude ice crystals can create a rainbow like you see around the 9:00 mark. They are less common at mid-latitudes, but once you are far enough north the low sun angle can create them!

    I love when people mention Mt. ANYTHING because the neighborhood I grew up in was called Wilke Heights (named after the developer) and every single street was named after a mountain. I grew up on Alps Road, my very best friend for 35 years grew up on Mt. Everest Drive, my husband grew up on Mt. Holyoke, and my grandparents lived on Mt. Marcy. He also developed the neighborhood across from our several years later, and named it Heavenly Heights. My brother lives on Galaxy Drive, my husbands best friend lives on Twinkle Avenue, my aunt lives on Venus Land, and my cousin lives on Uranus Drive lol. Such fun street names!!!

    So excited to see you here in my beautiful home state of NH--you drove right through my hometown of Concord. Best thing about New England in general is the very distinct seasons. Fall is my absolute favorite--some time you should check out NH in October, it is GORGEOUS. But there is something to love in each season. Skating, skiing, and snowmobiling in the winter--then curling up by the fire with mug of coffee, a good book and my dog, spending the day at the beach or the lake,or hiking in the mountains in spring and summer, and then the fall brings apple picking, hay rides, state fairs, bonfires and halloween. I also loved your Boston videos as Boston is one of my absolute favorite cities. Quebec City is another of my faves.

    Coldest I've ever been was when I flew in from Torrejon Spain to Pease AFB there in New Hampshire. The night before I landed, they had an ice storm come in and leave a layer of ice everywhere. Needless to say I was not prepared for that level of cold. It had been raining when I left Spain, so all I had was my plastic Air Force issue raincoat. The plastic froze solid and didn't move.

    I have been watching you for a few months. You got into my recommendations at a transition time in my life and viewing. I found your videos as interesting as I had a German GF come visit for 3 weeks and her ideas on the US and what she experienced were different. She would have made videos just like this. I have no problem at all with your accent. I used to be on the phone internationally 3 to 4 hours a day for years. One thing I noticed is that your getting more comfortable in English, but being in the States and having to use it all day long will help that. 40 years ago in my office French was spoken all day long among 3 of the guys. I spoke little when I started, but after a few years was able to understand almost all what they were saying because a lot of the root words are similar in English, Spanish and German. I never paid attention to your lovely long hair. I am jealous, I don't have any, I am bald.

    Hey Choo Choo Marie 😊 🚂 🦌 A Rolling & Beautiful change of scenery , sturdy 🥾 are what's called for. A colorful steam locomotive chugging along feels exhilarating like your a kid again. " You might as well build a railway to the moon" Sylvester Marsh was told over 150 years ago , it's still thriving & worth every moment of it. Looks pretty steep ( second after Pilatus in Switzerland) how about Jacob ladder that's the most thrilling , the oldest ones must use a ton of coal & gallons of water to reach the top. The sky blue views of the peaks were Amazing & you didn't have to give up any creature comforts , yummy 🍡 🔥 treats , they also make a delicious clam chowder. There's a great observatory for learning more about the weather including a live cam. I wouldn't mind staying at the alpen glow lodge even know it's a bit pricey. I'm glad you got to be near the tip top of New England . The Omni Resort charming it stands out with its spanish renaissance style elegantly furnished where can i get one of those rugs 🐿️. I really liked how you can walk around the balcony taking in the whole landscape along with a round of 🏌️ golf too , back in 2019 everybody was surprised when a 🐻 showed up. Like all old hotels there's something ghostly going on like the princess / 314 room , what a scoop if you caught it on camera like your a Ghostbuster. Maybe you about the cogg railway documentary they show there , you can watch the preview here on KZread, the rest might be online. They also have a fancy gold room which is appropriate since it's where the bankers established the monetary fund. I don't know if you noticed any romantic couples , it's a popular place for having weddings. The ⛷️ resort looked packed out & a lot of fun , makes a change from being snow blind by the sun , it's a different vibe , how come you didn't 🛷 downhill , probably would've have been risky if you broke the camera , you've done it before anyway , It would be cool having a personalised snowboard. It's been wonderful seeing you so radiant & happy exploring more of America the promised land that keeps on giving. Don't ever lose that feeling now your back home again. Check out Robert Frost Poems on NH. Thanks Marie Take care & have a blessed Sunday 💛🌺✌️

    C’est incroyable et très impressionnant comme vous voyagez partout et si souvent! C’est chouette que ta mère t’a accompagnée. Est-ce son premier voyage aux États-Unis? J’ai visité Mt. Washington en vacances avec ma famille il y a à peu près 30 ans, mais c’était au mois de juillet. Nous sommes montés au sommet en auto, pas dans le cog railway, mais nous savions que c’était une option. J’avais une nouvelle voiture en ce moment là, et c’était une initiation immédiate pour les freins de la voiture pendant la descente! Il m’a fallu s’arrêter tout les 10 minutes pour que les freins ne deviennent trop chauds. Je n’ai pas vu l’hôtel non plus, mais il est beau et grand. Mt. Washington est à une élévation haute, mais pas aussi haute que les sommets aux Alpes. Il est évident que vous vous êtes bien amusées à Boston et en New Hampshire. Vous avez choisi des beaux endroits à visiter. Comme toujours, une bienvenue chaleureuse aux États-Unis à Marie et à sa mère, même si vous avez déjà retourné en France. Il faut que je regarde aujourd’hui les deux vidéos de Barcelona. Si j’irais à l’avenir en Espagne, je voudrais voir Barcelona sur la Méditerranée, la site des Olympiques d’Ete en 1992. À la prochaine! Bonne Semaine Sainte.

    Marie, I'm surprised that with all of your travels, this is the very first time you've ever seen a Sun Dog! That rainbow when it's not raining is what that was. They can be rainbows, they can just be yellow, or they can even be red. Look up the term "Sun Dog" on your phone and you'll see tons of pictures of them. They always form 90 degrees from the Sun. Using a clock as a reference, they form at 9, 12, and 3. I'm glad you got to see Mt. Washington, even if you only got to go up halfway. It the beginning or the end of the Appalachian Trail that hikers will hike from down in Georgia all the way to the top of that mountain. You were lucky to be there on a blue sky day! I did laugh a little bit at your karma comment and you slipping! You should have at least gone down that slope once on a tube. If the kids can do it, so can you! The resorts of that area are really nice and have been used in movies. I hope the rest of your adventure goes well, and as always, keep smiling!

Now I just drive up the auto road whenever I get up that way. I’m so glad you’re having such a good time in the US. You’ve seen quite a bit so far in your travels, but there’s still so much more to see. Enjoy, happy travels! 😊👍

    You’re adorable, and I’m proud you went up Washington. We’re like 1 and a 1/2 north of there.. and we lost power for 2.5 days😭 Gratz!!! Washington is the best mt. IMO Oh you didn’t go to the top?🤷‍♂️ I’ve been to the top in a car.. but we tried to hike it one day. There was a severe storm coming in. They begged us not to climb… but my ex is cut from a different cloth. We made it above the storm. We were at the last checkpoint (or semi summit) to the top, and she says “come here.” It’s all fog. I can see 5 to 10 feet. I walk over to my ex, put my arm around her, and look into the fog…. Then a patch of fog cleared, and we were standing on the very edge of a cliff. I gripped her, and pulled her over backwards to safety. Then I said we are going back down. She wanted to keep going up.. but we were in T-shirts, there was snow. I knew the top was close, but, I stuck my foot in the ground and said no. We were literally looking for those pyramid shaped rock piles to move forward. And! If we couldn’t find one.. we’re lost on a big mountain. She agrees, we head down. We go back into the storm. It’s wet, windy, and dark. All we had was this little blue keychain light from LLBean. I think we reached our car at 12-1am? Was crazy. Now I want to do it again during a storm🤷‍♂️ I wish I hadn’t turned back😭✌️✌️
