New Hampshire
“The Granite State”
What Makes New Hampshire Beautiful
New Hampshire is a jewel of New England, where the White Mountains tower above alpine valleys and the Presidential Range challenges hikers with some of the most extreme weather on Earth. Crystal lakes dot forested hills, covered bridges span rushing streams, and the brief but blazing autumn foliage season draws visitors from around the world.
