New Hampshire:
The landscape traverses beaches to New England`s tallest mountains. The southern tier of New Hampshire features Mt. Monadnock, a favorite for hikers; historic cities that were the backbone of the Industrial Revolution; the historic seaport of Portsmouth; and the rollicking Hampton Beach along the seacoast. To the north is the beautiful Lakes Region and to the west the Connecticut River Valley. Northern New Hampshire is dominated by the majestic White Mountains and valley villages and dramatic scenery in the notches between rugged peaks. There is an incredible assortment of fun things to do and places to see in New Hampshire. From fantastic scenic drives during the height of fall foliage to the spectacular sights of a snow-filled winter, there are thousands of places to find, and things to do in New Hampshire. At the very top of the state is the Great North Woods, a place of pristine beauty with acres of undeveloped woods, lakes, rivers and streams. Next, stretching from east to west in the upper midsection of New Hampshire is the White Mountains region, home of the 780,000 acre White Mountain National Forest and the scenic Kancamagus Highway  At the center of the state is the Lakes Region with a landscape of rolling hills and mountains dotted by 273 lakes and ponds. Tucked in the southwest corner of New Hampshire is the picturesque Monadnock Region, home of Yankee Magazine and the inspiration of Thornton Wilder's Our Town. The Merrimack Valley is the most populated region with the cities of Nashua, Manchester and Concord. On the Seacoast is the home of the historic port city of Portsmouth and 18 miles of coastline to explore. Characterized by pristine beauty and acres of undeveloped woods, lakes, rivers, and streams, this remote region is a place apart; a place where man has made little imprint on the land, but where people and nature peacefully coexist. This is one of the last true great wilderness areas, where the industry is tied to the land, from logging to farming, and where recreation, from fishing to hunting, snowmobiling and boating, is part of daily life. Sportsmen have come here for generations. The fishing is legendary: U.S. Presidents have cast for salmon and brook trout in these waters, while others have traveled country roads and deep woods to hunt or just watch the wildlife. Snowmobilers come from all over the country and neighboring Canada to explore the most comprehensive, superbly maintained and signed snowmobiling system in the Northeast. If you`re a true lover of the outdoors and want to experience New Hampshire at its natural best, this vacation head for the Great North Woods. In New Hampshire`s White Mountains, the vacation possibilities are as endless as the views. . . but scenic beauty alone doesn`t account for the popularity of this region. Here lush forests and towering peaks provide a stunning backdrop for picturesque alpine villages with their traditional New England architecture. Amid the quiet beauty of the countryside, visitors and residents alike take every opportunity to enjoy the ample recreation, from canoeing the Connecticut River to fishing, swimming, boating, biking and hiking. The cultural opportunities are equally plentiful. If you`re looking for the New England most people imagine, come to the Monadnock Region, a place of small towns, village greens, white clapboard churches, bandstands, and that special way of life that only exists in a small town. This is not New England recreated or restored. In the Monadnock Region, you`ll see New England life as it has evolved over hundreds of years . . . and as it continues today. This is a great area for couples and families, from grandparents to the tiniest tot. Long sandy beaches, musical events, fascinating natural areas, whale watches and ocean cruises, theatres, and modern attractions. Take a leisurely drive down scenic roads, pursue your favorite on-water or on-land sport, or browse through the many boutiques, factory outlets and antique shops. From a variety of theme park attractions and historic sites, to children`s museums or an evening at the theater or symphony -- there is an amazing assortment of places to see, sites to explore and culture to take advantage of for visitors of all ages.
