Eat & drink

Dining

For a small mountain town, Gorham eats remarkably well. Nearly everything below is a short walk from your door — barbecue, Italian, pizza, pub fare, and a proper cup of coffee before the trailhead.

Slow mornings and long dinners

J's Corner Eatery & Pub is right here on property — no driving after a day on the mountain. Beyond it, Main Street holds barbecue, homemade Italian, pizza by the slice, and a cafe that opens early enough for a sunrise trailhead.
