One of the prettiest places in New Hampshire. Definitely get there as soon as they open so you can experience this walk without the crowds. It was very busy as we were leaving. It was very peaceful and gorgeous #flumegorge #thingstodoinnh #newhampshire #visitnh #familyfriendly #outdoorsy #letsexplore

WOW 😳! I'm sooo glad 😊 I went! Even though the main gorge was a short walk, when I reached the end 🔚 of the loop ➰ trail, my heart sank a little because it was over. I'm only going to review the Flume and Liberty Gorges and 🐺 Wolf Den since so many parts of Flume Gorge trail has there own individual entries. The Gorge is breathtaking, awesome 👍, enjoyable, adjectives, thesaurus, amazing, astounding, impressive! Looking at what nature has made and actually seeing life 🧬 growing on it, the moss and plants, while seeing and hearing the fast moving water 💦 was something I don't know if I can convey properly. I was able to observe the Flume Gorge from multiple locations. Information ℹ️ was posted and there was even a thermometer 🌡️ placed along the walkway. 🐺 Wolf Den was interesting, especially watching people trying to squeeze through the cave in order to reach the other side. It has two entrances. My friend, Arthur Itis, said no way of attempting to squeeze through. He did complain about the inclines of the trail. Liberty Gorge I was only able to observe from a short trail connected to the main trail. It did add to the adventure. There are a lot of stairs so ♿ wheelchair access is not possible. You can wear sneakers but make sure your footwear has a good grip. It can get slippery. Insects were not much of a problem though I encountered some here and there. I did purchase my ticket 🎟️ online. Save it to your phone 📱 or print it out. I lost my service when I arrived. Update: September 2024; I visited again and had a 👍 great time! I highly recommend this Gorge! I had fun!

A beautiful route through the forest along the river, you will find paths made of wood and cement, however most of the paths areade on the ground. There are small bridges that cross the river from side to side again and again. Technically you are hiking, but everything is so beautiful and relaxing, all surrounded by nature with beautiful views, waterfalls and the forest of towering trees that you walk through animatedly without realizing it. I believe you can do it with children and healthy older adults. I went with my family and with my 9 years old daughter, stopping several times to rest and drink water or bite something, Adittionally, I saw several families with children a lot younger. there are several shelters and benches along the way. Each one of us brought his thermos of water and in the end we all had drunk it. I recommend bringing a garbage bag if you carry snacks or fruit because there are no garbage cans along the route. I felt very connected to nature. All my stress stayed up there. There are two caves (the bear and the wolf) The one with the wolf can be crossed to the other side passing through a strait that I do not recommend trying for people of large size. The path begins and ends at the visitor center. it is impossible for you to get lost because the road has no forks. Only to access the viewpoints. I recommend it 100% and I will surely come back many times.

This is a very well maintained trail with huge ecological diversity. So much to learn. But trust me this is one of the most popular trail in the franconia range. Very common among all the different types of tourists. You you want to visit this I would recommend reaching there when it opens in the morning at 8:30am. I say so because when we were done at around noon, the queue for the tickets was so long, from the visitor centre to outside upto the parking lot. All the plants and rocky formations are labelled nicely and well maintained. Remember to ask a ranger about the white plants without chlorophyll ("Indian Pipe"). Also its really nice to understand how the granite gorge was formed. They used to be covered in ice during the ice age and because of all erosion activities and climate change, the level of land has gone down below the level of the granite and hence the flume gorge was formed. Its an easy trail for all age groups. Many tourists come in groups and take the shuttle till the hut instead of walking. The hut comes after around 20 minutes on the trail. But overall its a very nice trail. Very unique. They charge you because they have to maintain the entire trail. Suggest buying the discovery pass: u can see both the flume gorge and do the Canon mountain tramway and save some bucks. Just go there early to avoid the crowd

What a beautiful hike! Saw reviews online, decided to travel to do this hike as a family. Very glad we made the trip! Purchase tickets ahead of time for our time slot, and glad we went early. The walk took us about two hours, and we stopped a lot to take a ton of pictures. Walk is moderate, hills, steps- we do have school-age children who were able to make the walk. We were following a family with younger children, toddlers, who were enjoying themselves as well. A favorite of my kids was The Wolf's Den, as they loved crawling through the caves. The walk does have two places with restrooms, more towards the beginning. Along the trail there are many benches and rain shelters to rest if needed. There's a nice Visitor Center as well that has ample restrooms, a cafe, information center, and gift shop. I would recommend taking water bottles if you have children who talk about how thirsty they are all the time. Also good shoes with traction is recommended, as some parts of the boardwalk are wet and slippery. It would be a good idea to wear some bug spray if you have it as well. We are from a very buggy state, and I felt like the gorge did not have many bugs at all, however there were a few parts in the woods that had some mosquitos. Excellent place to visit, glad we went.
