Bretton Woods in the White Mountains 🍁

Many trees at the base of the mountain have already lost their leaves, but there's still some color up higher—though keep expectations in check! 🍂👀 Tucked within the White Mountains, the Omni Mount Washington Resort looks like a castle straight out of a fairy tale 🏰—yet it’s also where the real-life Bretton Woods System was born. In 1944, an international conference held here established the gold-backed dollar system. Today, it’s a peaceful autumn escape away from the crowds—a great alternative to fighting for a photo at Artists Bluff or sitting in Lincoln traffic. 🚗💨 From the hotel, you can see the highest peak in the Northeast: Mount Washington 🏔️, often shrouded in mist, like a living painting. Take the Scenic Gondola at the nearby ski area 🚡, ride up to the summit, and admire the fiery reds, yellows, and greens of the valley up close, with sweeping views of Mount Washington in the distance. On a clear day, you can even spot the weather observatory on the peak! ☀️🔭 📍 Omni Mount Washington Resort: 173 Mount Washington Hotel Rd, Bretton Woods, NH 03575 📍 Bretton Woods Ski Area: 99 Ski Area Rd, Bretton Woods, NH 03575 💡 Pro tip: Buy gondola tickets in advance. Park at the ski area, ride the gondola up and down, then take the free shuttle to and from the hotel—skip the valet hassle! Have you visited during peak foliage?
