We are truly blessed here in the Concord area! One of my favorite things about this area is that there are so many things for us to enjoy without traveling too far! There are tons of awesome day trips available to us! Within an hour or so, we can see huge mountains or the Atlantic Ocean, visit a metropolis or be in the middle of nowhere, and even explore 3 other states. To help you narrow down your search for what may be best for your family, I have come up with a list of more than 90 great places to go that take less than 2 hours to drive to.
