Roger Wood Talks Mt. Washington Valley Recreational Path

By ROGER WOOD, InDepthNH.org

What started out as a proposed roadway bypass in the North Country has morphed into an ambitious recreational path instead. It’s all happening in North Conway in the shadow of Mount Washington.

The Mount Washington Valley recreational pathway, when completed, will feature an accessible nearly three-mile paved biking, walking and wheelchair route east of the village and a short distance from the Maine border.

It’s being accomplished through hard work by a dedicated cadre of volunteers working with federal help and a local capital fund drive.

One of them is Chris Meier, an attorney in North Conway, who serves as president of the Mount Washington Valley Trails Association. Podcast producer Roger Wood talks to him about the work accomplished so far and the goals ahead. https://soundcloud.com/roger-wood-914351181/chris-meir-mwv?si=55cd6a8b02a5419388e2a8c6a844a393&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
