SNOWGOER . COM 20
The Town & Country Inn and Resort at Gorham has been operated by the Labnon family since 1956 . With more than 150 guest rooms , a spacious parking lot , full-service restaurant and trailside location , the “ T & C ” is ideally suited for snowmobile visitors .
The Roger Marois Sr . Memorial Bridge is a landmark on Trail 12 east of Gorham . pork sandwich was delicious . Sadly , the interesting location permanently closed in 2019 . During the meal I learned more about the New Hampshire trail system and law enforcement from Clint and Wayne , as well as heard about past snowmobiling adventures from Charlie and Dottie , who ’ ve been riding far and wide for 43 seasons .
Following our midday repast , we refueled the machines and began our return trip . As we headed south , giant windmills were spinning on the western skyline atop distant Mount Kelsey . Continuing our journey , we came upon two groomers working in tandem , each smoothing half the trail to create a 16-foot-wide ribbon of snowy perfection . There were plenty of views to enjoy over the final miles , but the most spectacular was the Presidential Range ( Mounts Adams , Jefferson and Madison ) forming the backdrop as we arrived back at Gorham with 117 miles on our odometers and happy smiles on our faces .
This was my second visit to New Hampshire and I ’ m already looking forward to my third – I wholeheartedly recommend Granite State snowmobiling . With 7,300 miles of trails statewide , there ’ s plenty to explore and enjoy .
