Cannonmt — Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway, Franconia NH

The Cannon Mountain Tram is a great way to see magnificent views of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. The 80-passenger cable car can get you to the 4,080' summit in under 10 minutes. On a clear day, you can see the mountains of four states and Canada. There's a walking path that you can take up to the observation deck. I'd recommend heading up in the fall.

TED: Totally Excellent Dog

Teddy has some weird genetic hair issues going on. He's gone from short hair to long hair to a full mane to no mane, with plenty of iterations in between—and it doesn't depend on the season!

He's always happy to answer any questions too! You can email us at hillary@mybuzzabout.com but I'll respond for him as he hasn't gotten the knack of typing yet. WOOF!
