As a visitor, you would be hard pressed to find a region offering more—more natural beauty, more history and culture, more recreation, more adventure, more memories, and more small businesses intent upon making your vacation immensely memorable.

Here, sunny skies and four classic seasons enhance a variety of activities. In winter, you can enjoy sledding or tobogganing, ice-fishing, cross-country skiing, and of course world-class downhill skiing and snowboarding.

Spring, too, is a special time. Frozen lakes and streams thaw to welcome fishermen, boaters, hikers, and sightseers. Meadow grasses turn green and wildflowers reach for the sun. As the earth rejuvenates, so does the spirit.

In summer, with stubborn patches of gleaming snow still clinging to her summits, the White Mountain offers visitors a variety of scenic attractions and an unlimited array of outdoor activities. Some 200 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, 50 alpine lakes, and more than 800 miles of cold, crystal-clear rivers and springs entice visitors to our mountain playground.

Autumn is for many their favorite season—when the land and its inhabitants prepare for the coming snow. The White Mountain region offers a change of colors to rival any in the nation, with the added pleasure of relative solitude. Wildlife is abundant; trails are uncrowded; hunters and fishermen enjoy spectacular sport; and hiking and sightseeing are at their best.
