Wedding Vacation Day 4 – Loon Mountain – And My Proud Mommy Moment
One of my favorite days of our wedding vacation (other than the actual wedding of course!) was the day that we spent at Loon Mountain. We had Super Adventure Passes and spent the entire day exploring everything they had to offer!
We started off our morning with mountain biking. The staff really knows their stuff and picked out our perfect bikes and got us set with directions. Andy and I haven’t ridden bikes in years and it was Josh’s first time on a mountain bike (all those gears!) so we chose for the easy route – 5 miles – and headed out. It was a fairly easy ride – as easy as you can get in the mountains! I was really proud of Josh for how awesome he did on the ride!
After our bike ride we wanted to rest for a minute so this was the perfect time for the gondola ride!
We rode it all the way to the top of the mountain.
The views were amazing! But make sure you wear bug spray! We got eaten alive by black flies once we reached the top of the mountain! Once you are at the top there are trails and caves to explore, a restaurant and a shop filled with local artists’ creations.
Once we were headed back down the mountain Josh got set up for the bungee trampoline. If you know Josh then you know this is right up his alley! He loves to bounce!
The last thing we did for the day was zip lining. None of us had ever been before and Loon Mountain was the perfect place for us to start. It’s perfect for beginners to learn and get some confidence on. Everyone got suited up and headed to the top.
The staff was amazing! Josh is afraid of heights and was really nervous. They talked to him, showed him all of the parts of the ropes and explained how they all worked. They were so nice and helpful and am we are so grateful! After they showed him how everything worked he decided to go for it! Proud mom moment! J Once he did it once he loved it. He even got brave and let go to wave! For the rest of our trip he kept talking about how he went zip lining! He was definitely proud of himself!
Loon Mountain was so much fun and the perfect place to spend our day. And make sure you plan on spending your whole day there! There is so much to do! I love the fact that everything is covered under the one price for the Adventure Pass! If you are ever in New Hampshire you need to stop by!
Make sure to follow Loon Mountain on Facebook or Twitter.
Disclosure: We received Super Adventure Passes in exchange for a review. All thoughts are 100% mine. We had the most amazing time, made some wonderful memories and will definitely be going back next time we visit New Hampshire.

Good grief that’s beautiful!!! I think we’ll have to check out Loon Mountain when we head East next spring. It’s rare you see something that’s kid friendly and could be romantic/honeymoon friendly. Rock on in discovering them! Also, coconut oil will keep the nasties away. Just smear it on.

That looks like SOOOO much fun! I have always wanted to try a zip line. Your pictures are really beautiful.
Thank you Chrysa! It was a blast! I’m so glad we started off here with our zip lining. There were places around who just did them but I don’t think my son (or I!) would have the confidence to go. I’m was honestly, blown away by the staff and how they handled themselves!!

Looks like so much fun. I have never tried ziplining, but I hope to do it one day.

What a great time! That zipline would make me a little nervous, though – but I’m a wimp. Glad you enjoyed it!
