"The White Mountains" New Hampshire Favorite Tip by dinhyen

Favorite thing: Probably nowhere else are such magnificent displays of nature more easily accessible (except, well, perhaps Niagara Falls). There are snow-clad mountains, lush forests, green lakes, meandering streams, silky waterfalls, all within an easy drive from the air travel hub of Boston. The Kancamagus Highway, named after a 17th-century Indian chief, is arguably one of the most scenic stretch of asphalt anywhere. There are numerous waterfalls in the region; they are not large but no less alluring, and most require just a short to moderate hike to get to. The beauty of nature here is timeless. Come here, and your worldly troubles and worries will melt away.

Fondest memory: We make our canoeing and camping trip here virtually every year. Our favorite place for canoeing is usually on the Saco River beginning in Conway, NH. My first trip there was in 1995 and I grew fond of it ever since. Guess we're going there again this summer :)
