2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Adventure Guide Brought to you by the Subaru Guide to Everything

If you haven't already heard of the Subaru Guide to Everything, it's an interactive app for both Facebook and Smartphones designed for Subaru drivers and adventurers around the country. More or less, app users around the country can take their favorite Subaru destinations and categorize them under Hiking, Camping, Dogs, Sights, Biking and Dining. Amazing!

In lieu of our upcoming Subaru XV Crosstrek release (and by upcoming, I mean tomorrow, so if you haven't registered do so here!), we decided it'd be fun to pick out a few of the semi-local destinations on the app for you to check out. I mean, what better way to break in a brand-new XV Crosstrek (or any other Subaru for that matter) than to take a drive to a fun, adventurous and beautiful location? Enjoy!

Flume Gorge, Lincoln NH
A self-guided, two-mile walk stands at the beginning of the park that brings you through a cleft, which narrows to just 12 feet with rushing water underneath you. The walls of the granite on either side of you rise between 70 to 90 feet, where there is a hike of mostly walkways, stairs and beautiful surrounding nature.

Rollins Pond Campground, Saranac Lake NY
According to another Subaru lover and traveler, Rollins Pond should be at the top of your list if you love camping, canoes, paddle boats or kayaks. This dog-friendly site has hot water, clean bathrooms and any of the previous activity available for rental upon your request.

Atii Expeditions, Moretown VT

This amazing Vermont destination offers personalized, two-hour lessons in skijoring. If you don't know what that means, no problem - we didn't either! It's basically cross country skiing with your dog harnessed in front of you. They say it's perfect if you have a pooch that doesn't love to heel when you walk, and great for bonding!

Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway, Franconia NH
In less than ten minutes, this tram takes you up to the 4,080ft summit of Cannon Mountain, looking over Franconia Notch and the White Mountains. When it's clear, you can see mountains in four different states as well as Canada, and at the top there is a 360 degree observation deck equipped with a cafe, bar and bathrooms.

Kingdom Trails, East Burke VT
This 100-mile trail is unique due to the fact that most of the trail is made up of people's private property, that they allow to be used by bikers, cross country skiers and hikers. It's accessible year round, with trails that vary in difficulty, and oh, Bike Magazine voted it the best biking trail in North America; can't be too shabby!

In Good Company, Rockland ME
I have no choice but to be biased here - this restaurant is in the town I grew up in - I'll be honest! But we know our yummy food here in Vermont so if you're traveling to the coast - this is the place to go. Their slogan is "Wine. Food. Friends." and it is comprised of exactly that. The menu changes weekly and is made up of some of the best food I've ever tasted - seriously. If you head that way, bon appetit from me, Subaru friends!

I hope you've enjoyed reading about these wonderful locations, and I hope you make your way to them in the near or farther future! Please check out the app, it's fantastic! And please register for our Subaru XV Crosstrek release event tomorrow. Not only is it going to be great, but who doesn't love free food, if nothing else? :)
