A stay in New Hampshire feels both comfortable and quaint. Cozy shops at the heart of old Yankee towns nestle close to the rising slopes of its gentle mountain ranges. Pack light sweaters for summertime stays, wool caps and long scarves for winter. And a visit in the fall means donning layers you'll peel off during your hike beneath a leafy canopy of blazing autumn colors.
Take in the beauty of New Hampshire's visual experiences, then jump in and make yourself part of the scene. Go golfing, biking, hiking, canoeing, kayaking or water skiing in the warmer months. Pack your skis and snowboards in the winter and join visitors from all over the country in search of the ultimate downhill thrill. Start from the beautiful town of Lincoln and enjoy a leisurely drive along the Kancamagus Scenic Byway, a 34.5 route drive that cuts through the spectacular White Mountain National Forest and leads you past vintage logging roads, scenic overlooks, historic homesteads and authentic Indian hunting trails. And be sure to visit nearby Franconia Notch State Park to see the magnificent 800 foot-long Flume Gorge.
