3-day Itineraries

3 Day Itinerary

Looking for the perfect 72 hour getaway? At just two hours from Boston and three from New York, the Monadnock Region has just what you are looking for. Here are some ideas of how to make the most of your time here. Day 1: If you’re here during warmer weather, the region is home to all kinds of trails, from casual walks to more intense climbs. For your first day, we recommend an easy stroll, maybe on the Cheshire Rail Trail (great for biking riding, too) a nice walk around Cranberry Bog in Peterborough or one of the shorter trails of the Harris Center in Hancock. How about cooling off in one our beautiful lakes? The Monadnock Region is home to several thousand acres of swimmable water, and while every boat launch can be used by anyone, there are three beaches that are open to the general public. Spofford
