Tripping on Travel: Gunstock Mountain Resort, Gilford, NH
We continue the Up Close series with a visit to Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford, New Hampshire, during the fall season. For what the location lacks in the sounds of nature around it, it's autumn colors on that day, with the angle of the sunlight, certainly makes up for it. I feel privileged to have captured this video footage at such a perfect time of the day, and with sunlight that served to enhance the beauty of the resort's fall colors during the time I was recording. I only recorded a very small picnic area I accessed off the driveway entrance. As for the rest of the resort area, the map I include in the beginning of the production shows the network of ski slopes quite better than the trails and other recreation available at the Gunstock Mountain Resort.
When I first arrived in the vicinity of the mountain resort and saw other businesses with the name Gunstock in them, I thought I might be in Gunstock, New Hampshire. But that's not true, and yet it's understandable. According to Wikipedia, "Settled in 1778 and originally a part of Gilmanton, the town was first called Gunstock Parish." But a military officer residing there in 1812, who had fought in the Revolutionary War, successfully had the town's name changed to reflect a battle from the war. And it became Gilford, New Hampshire. A New Deal agency, one of many that provided employment and created public works projects in the United States during the Great Depression, is credited with building it. But it was first named the Belknap Mountain Recreation Area. The ski resort "had the first chairlift in the eastern United States. After the completion of the 60-meter ski jump, the first meet was held in February 1937." As the website for the Gunstock Mountain Resort explains, they offer a nice selection of several skiing activities that serve the novice skier, as well as the experienced athlete.
