Visit New Hampshire

If New Hampshire isn’t on your vacation list, get out your notepad. With outdoor recreation activities for every season, visitors flock to the expansive wilderness from the White Mountains in the north to the Atlantic beaches. Snowmobiling in winter and off-roading in summer are favorite outdoor adventures for locals and vacationers alike.

Best Time To Visit

Timing your New Hampshire getaway depends on whether winter activities are your passion, or if you’re more into atv trail riding and scenic drives. Fall foliage viewing is an especially popular activity.

Climate

Cold and snowy winters with mild summers define the New Hampshire climate. Frequent rain and heavy snowfall is not uncommon.

Altitude

From Mount Washington in the White Mountains at 6,288 ft and the ocean shore at sea level, New Hampshire altitude runs the gamut in terms of elevation.

Terrain

Situated in the northern part of the Appalachian Mountain Range, New Hampshire terrain is mountainous and densely forested. Extensive granite formations and quarries cover the mid-state region.

New Hampshire Attractions

White Mountains

With so many things to do in the White Mountains, those looking for mountain adventures will see why this wilderness area in northern New Hampshire is one of the nation’s top travel destinations. The 1000 mile Ride the Wilds OHV trail system is maintained by local ATV clubs.

Kancamagus Highway

This 35-mile scenic highway from Conway to Lincoln is one of the best fall foliage viewing areas in the US. Be sure to take this mountain drive during your next New Hampshire vacation.

Diana’s Baths

A family trip to beautiful waterfalls of Diana's Baths along the Lucy Brook stream in Bartlett will have the kids wading in refreshing pools and scrambling over granite boulders. It’s an easy, short hike on a wide gravel path.

Mount Washington Auto Road

This 7.6 mile drive to the top of Mt. Washington is not for the faint of heart. A narrow and twisty road with no guardrails and 12% average gradient will thrill those looking for real adventure. The above-treeline views are an awe-inspiring reward at the summit.

Covered Bridges Tour

Some of the best New Hampshire scenic drives are on road tours of the covered bridges of New England. The state boasts 54 of these iconic bridges, a perfect romantic getaway for couples looking for picturesque photo locations.
