What to Eat?
Fill up at some of our local favorite spots. If pizza is on your list try Flatbread Pizza Company. Or if a refreshing local brewed beer is for you, head down to the Moat and see what's on tap!

The North Conway Climbing School is located in the heart of the White Mountains. Within a half hours drive to a half dozen ski resorts, world class rock and ice climbing, and great mountaineering terrain; North Conway is arguably one of the best outdoor destinations in the East.
While you're out adventuring, family and friends are sure to entertain themselves with the region's many seasonal sports and shopping outlets. Meet up at the end of the day at The Moat Mountain Brewery (our cherished local spot) or swap stories at Starbucks, right next to our awesome new shop at Settler's Crossing.
