Because it’s Leap Day we recognize Lover’s Leap!
Named by early modern explorers of Mammoth Cave in 1827, Lover’s Leap is a large stone slab overlooking a canyon near the end of the Gothic Avenue passageway.
As Bugs Bunny said, watch that first step, It’s a Lulu.

Winter is still here and there's plenty of icy waterfalls to behold in the White Mountains (as well as icy trails!) We strongly encourage using microspikes or crampons when hiking as we continue through the season.

Double the arch, Double the fun.
Double Arch is the tallest arch in the park at 112 feet tall. It is also the second widest arch at 144 ft wide. That's pretty impressive if you ask us.
The trail to get to Double Arch is .6 mile round-trip.

There is a word when everything comes together perfectly, "perfektenschlag."
This winter's weather has been lackluster so far. So, a blue-sky powder day feels extra special right now!
