Summer Activities
If you're looking for some high adventure and your next adrenaline rush just look to the mountains for your next adventure. Play in the tree tops, zip down zip lines, and ride a mountain coaster, where you control the speed of your ride. Or coast along with the current in one of NH's river, or cast a line from shore. In addition to the activities listed below, you'll find links to additional summer activities in the nav bar on this page. No matter what you choose, summer fun awaits!
New England Ski Museum
The New England Ski Museum collects, conserves and exhibits elements of ski history for the purposes of research, education and inspiration. Cannon Mountain is the only ski area in the United States with a ski museum on its property. The original museum was founded in Conway in 1977; a second museum opened in 1982 in a former vehicle maintenance building at the base of the Cannon Mountain Tramway in Franconia Notch State Park.

Mountain Coaster
One or two passengers can ride individual carts that glide along tubular rails. Carts are pulled uphill by a cable before the cart disengages, and gravity takes over. The downhill track is designed with swooping turns, banked corners and giant loops through the forest. Each cart is equipped with its own braking system, allowing the "driver" to slow to a comfortable pace or let it rip at full speed.
