Loon Mountain officially closed yesterday — 12 April — for the season. On my way to the restaurant, I spotted two moose in Franconia Notch, and one of the bears was out of hibernation and standing on a perch over at Clark’s Trading Post. Mount Washington is still covered in snow, the grass is still brown and there are no signs of buds on the trees, but I’m hopeful that spring green will make an appearance soon!
What does this mean at King’s Corner? Well, just because the mountain is closed doesn’t mean we are! We’re here year ’round, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. This past weekend we had fresh strawberries and asparagus, and the Southwestern corn chowder and cornbread was flying out the door. We’ve had visitors from Maryland, the UK and Israel. And of course lots of folks from southern New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont and Maine. We’re gearing up for Patriot’s Day and school vacation week and hoping that we’ll have some great spring hiking weather for everyone to enjoy.
If you’re in the area, be sure to stop in and say hello! And we’ll tell you the best places for moose-spotting.
