Day 1: Arrival and easy exploring

Morning

Check into your hotel or motel in Bartlett or nearby North Conway, then take your dog for a relaxed stretch at Rocky Branch Trail.

Afternoon

Head to Diana's Baths for a leashed walk to the cascades. Bring towels if your dog likes shallow water and avoid the busiest midday window when possible.

Evening

Return toward Bartlett for downtime at your lodging, or head to Sea Dog Brewing Company if you want a casual patio dinner with a dog menu.
