New England is famous for fall's bright orange & reds from our Maple trees and for spring's maple tapping to make maple syrup. Spring brings those warmer days and cold nights to help the sugaring maples provide Maple Sugar Houses with the sap to make into our wonderful New England Maple Syrup. Join us to enjoy one of Mother Nature's finest treats first hand!

Bed & Breakfasts Inn Mount Washington Valley, the White Mountains of New Hampshire will host the sixth annual MARCH MAPLE MADNESS… not just another inn tour.

These historic inns will offer you the opportunity to experience a self-guided tour of the member properties. Tickets are available from any participating Inn for only $15! In addition to the tour of participating inns, ticket holders will sample maple treats both savory and sweet and have the opportunity to participate in the judging of each inn's Open Door decorations.

As you continue your drive you can learn about "sugaring" at maple sugar houses and visit participating shops and vendors, "Maple Country Partners" along the way. However, the truly adventurous at heart may opt to do the Maple Madness March… a cross between a road rally, scavenger or rather "sapenger" hunt, and reality survivor program.

The Maple Madness March offers the more daring participants the opportunity to gather points toward winning prizes as they travel a specific tour route guided by directions "riddles with clues". Along the way you must seek answers to questions, gather objects, and artifacts as well as visit each participating Inn and Maple Country Partner. Bring along your digital camera, Polaroid, or video camera for bonus photo ops!

The ticket holder who accomplishes every dictate on the Maple Madness March and scores the most points will win a $200 gift certificate good toward a two night stay at any participating Inn, and other goodies provided by the Inns and Maple Country Partners.

Ticket holders who choose to simply enjoy the spectacular country side in early spring, tour historic inns, sample maple treats, appreciate seasonal decorations, and return home with a collection of maple recipes and fond memories without deciphering questionable quips may do so by following the easy to read map in the souvenir March Maple Madness booklet.

The March will stretch around the Presidential Mountain range with inns opening their doors to maple lovers everywhere. Tap into the fun of the Inaugural March Maple Madness, Inn to Inn Maple Tour.
