Scenic Moose and Wildlife Tours
Make Memorable Vacations

Seeking a bit of nature on your vacation this year? Imagine spotting an animal as big as a horse with long, dark brown hair and large ears. This is what you will find while on the Scenic Moose and Wildlife Tours. Moose are the largest member of the deer family. Each spring the male moose grow antlers that can reach 5 feet in length. North America’s largest wild animal enjoys its solitude, but seeks the company of other moose during the breeding season.

The Scenic Moose and Wildlife Tours is a highpoint for anyone visiting New Hampshire's White Mountains. Spotting one of these fabulous woodland creatures is almost assured while on the three-hour journey. Along with Moose there is plenty of other native wildlife, including bald eagle to be seen as you travel along the picturesque Androscoggin River into the 13-Mile Woods.

Visitors on the tour will enjoy the view of nature while riding in the comfort of an air-conditioned 21-passenger van in search of the gentle giant of the North Country. As many as thirteen moose have been sited at one time on the Tours. If you take the Gorham Scenic Moose and Wildlife Tour in May you also have a good chance of spotting a mother with her young. The breeding season for Moose runs from the middle of September on the through mid-October. About 230 days later calves are born that can weigh from 25 to 35 pounds.

Nature is unpredictable. Everyone who owns a camera hopes to capture a perfect picture of nature while on vacation. On the Scenic Moose and Wildlife Tours you can capture these majestic creatures on film while they feast on shrubs, leaves, and fresh buds. If you are looking for a memorable vacation, then the Scenic Moose and Wildlife Tours is the prefect addition to your travel plans. Children will also be thrilled to see these giant relatives of the deer and learn more about nature.
