New Hampshire reveals a land where the White Mountains have shaped the skyline for millennia. Between northern coniferous forests and southeastern Atlantic coasts, this New England state features waterfalls cascading over granite, glacial passes carved 15,000 years ago, and industrial villages embedded in red stone. Archaeological sites, lighthouses guiding ships on Piscataqua, and estates where early 20th-century artists shaped American identity await discovery. Trails wind through gorges, along lakes reflecting peaks, and through forests where remnants of old foundries remain. Autumn light illuminates maple trees, winter turns ravines into ice amphitheaters, and spring causes waterfalls to roar. From Mount Monadnock to the Shoals Islands, New Hampshire offers a varied geography where each hill, waterfall, and stone bears witness to a deeply rooted natural and human story within the landscape of New England.
