Planning a family reunion, girls or guys getaway, or club get-together? Your group is going to love coming to New Hampshire in the fall. Inside or outside, fall is a great time for a reunion or a group getaway.
Your family can gather and stay at a bed and breakfast during the height of fall foliage, or rent a cabin or cottage on a lake. Take the little ones on a waterfall hike or to a petting zoo, while the 'tweens and teens check out a zipline canopy tour or climb a fire tower. Everyone will want to visit an orchard and taste some cider donuts as they pick apples right from the trees. A scenic drive in the fall is a must-do, and nature lovers will appreciate the many different species of birds and wildlife that make the Granite State their home including deer, bears and bald eagles. The entire clan can meet for dinner at the end of the day at one of New Hampshire's own restaurants, or cook and serve your own family meal over a barbecue or bonfire at one of New Hampshire's private vacation rentals. At dusk, everyone can go on a moose tour or bundle up in blankets and sleeping bags outside and do some old-fashioned star gazing.
