The Franconia Notch Bike path is an awsome paved trail that runs from the Flume Gorge parking lot north for about 9 miles. You'll pass deep forest, streams, lakes, and mountain and cliffside views. I've been told the trail has 1000' of verticle rise, but a lot of it is up and down along the way so I suspect it's a good deal more than that when you add it all up. You can see where the Old Man of the Mountain used to be if you take a short walk off the main trail. There are no motor vehicles allowed so the trail is pretty safe and relaxed. Although I hear it can get crowded on weekends in the summer.
