The beauty of the rolling mountain peaks and lush evergreen trees in White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire, will strike you as soon as you arrive.
When you can find yourself driving atop a quaint, covered bridge above a rambling river only to spot a herd of moose off in the distance, you know that you are somewhere truly special.
Immense Forest Awaits Exploration
The 3,039-square-kilometer forest occupies a large portion of northern New Hampshire (about 215 kilometers north of Boston, Massachusetts) and extends upward into Maine. For outdoors adventurers, the park has more than 1,900 kilometers of hiking trails to explore – including part of the famous Appalachian Trail – and numerous campgrounds.
