In this episode we take you on another adventure to the White Mountain National Forest on the Coppermine Trail which is located on the Western side of Cannon Mountain in Franconia, NH. The trail leads to one of the most beautiful cascading waterfalls, Bridal Veil Falls. Here is the exact location if you find yourself in New England and are looking for an escape and a fun, family-friendly hike.

Not only is this a completely majestic hike in nature with the sounds of brooks and the smell of Balsam Fir trees, but it has a mystery associated with it. We share the story of the legendary movie star Bette Davis and how she found herself straying off of this trail many years ago and was rescued by a hiking guide and fellow New Englander, Arthur Farnsworth, who later became her husband. There is a mysterious memorial plaque hidden in the woods off of this trail which makes for a fun search. If you have any trouble trying to find the infamous plaque dedicated to Arthur Farnsworth, reach out to us and we’ll give you the exact GPS location.

One of our favorite aspects of hiking in this area, is it brings us to one of the most quintessential New England towns, Sugar Hill, NH. Some of our favorite places are Harmans Cheese & Country Store with their delicious, aged cheddar cheese and other delicacies and Polly’s Pancake Parlor, with the best pancakes around. Sugar Hill is also famous for their lupine festival in early June and their fabulous views of the White Mountains.

Hope you are inspired to lace up your hiking boots and immerse yourself in the beauty of the White Mountain National Forest or a destination closer to your home to embark on your own memorable adventure. Remember, nature has a way of nourishing the body, mind, and soul.

In this episode we are discussing the research from the best-selling book by Dan Buettner who is a Journalist, Explorer, & Author of The Blue Zones Secrets For Living Longer: Lessons from the Healthiest Places on Earth

You’ve probably heard the term ‘Blue Zones’ based on a recent Netflix series, Live to 100 – Secrets from the Blue Zones, and the best-selling Blue Zones Cookbooks from Dan Buettner. The Blue Zones are locations around the world with the longest and healthiest living people, many of whom live to over 100.

These healthy, long living people do not pursue health and longevity as if it were a chore. Their health, longevity and sharp brains stem from their surroundings. We’ll explore what aspects of the Blue Zones lifestyles contribute to the ability to thrive as they age.
