Late April is good since tourist traffic is light compared to other times of the year. Snow often still covers the mountain peaks, so they will be scenic.. Snow often also still is on the trails at higher elevations. At lower elevations, the trails may have no snow . Trees will have no leaves in late April; they will be bare. NH 112 (Kancamagus) may be closed if snow is deep enough; if it is open, it will have the best views as you drive across the National Forest. Other highways such as US 302, I-93, and NH 16 will be open. Jackson NH has an excellent (and romantic) covered bridge beside NH 16. Conway NH has two excellent covered bridges also. A local visitor center (at Intervale) just north of North Conway has great views of Mt Washington. Several ski areas are in the National Forest; they may offer cross-country ski rentals and they may have trails for hiking. Google Translate (Portuguese): O final de abril é um bom semáforo turístico em comparação com outras épocas do ano. Muitas vezes, a neve ainda cobre os picos das montanhas, então elas serão panorâmicas. Neve também nas trilhas em altitudes mais altas. Em altitudes mais baixas, as trilhas podem não ter neve. As árvores não terão folhas no final de abril; eles estarão nus. O NH 112 (Kancamagus) pode ser fechado se a neve estiver profunda o suficiente; se estiver aberto, terá as melhores vistas ao atravessar a Floresta Nacional. Outras rodovias, como US 302, I-93 e NH 16, estarão abertas. O Jackson NH tem uma excelente ponte coberta (e romântica) ao lado do NH 16. Conway NH também tem duas excelentes pontes cobertas. Um centro de visitantes local (em Intervale), ao norte de North Conway, oferece excelentes vistas para o Monte Washington. Várias áreas de esqui estão na Floresta Nacional; eles podem ter trilhas para caminhadas.

So sorry I missed this. Depends where you stay. We have a service dog and brought her everywhere. Good luck.

Red Jacket hotel is nice

Here is what I found, upon doing some more digging: Lafayette Campground is located in the middle of Franconia Notch State Park, along the Franconia Recreational Trail. The campground is open for walk-ins beginning May 19 and reservable stays from Memorial Day through Columbus Day weekend....Winter camping is welcome; a vault toilet but no running water is available. It also looks like backcountry camping is permitted (no fee) - just need to look into parking overnight at trailheads. Hope this helps the next person looking for this info!

Tons...at varying prices.
