New Hampshire

Overview

In N.H., the land itself is beautiful. The terrain is widely diverse and varied, but definitely well developed, public ocean and beaches. These attractions at times become overpopulated, not by residents but by tourists. It's a playground for well-to-do city dwellers, as well as die hard adventurers.

N.H. boasts more well marked hiking trails of all ability levels than nearly any other region in USA. New Hampshire is noted for its unlimited ski resorts, great hunting and fishing, and the formidable Mt.Washington in the White Mountains Region. There are unlimited restaurant and lodging choices, that boast a true New England bed and breakfast an experience that no one should pass up.

Further north, however, near the Canadian border, lies miles and miles of undeveloped forest, the Great North Woods. Here there are few paved roads, as it has been privately owned by the timber industry. Only logging roads, many publicly accesible as well as the frequent clear cut, spoil this area of true wilderness.

Here, the woods are so wild they emit a cartain sense of danger. Spending a few days in a tent will leave you in a state of primeval solitude. It's an experience we all should try at leat once. Moose are more common than cattle.

New Hampshire is made up of seven distinctly unique regions.

Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee

This region is widely known for the plethora of colleges and academies that dot, and in some cases dominate, the landscape. Dartmouth College is in Hanover and Proctor Academy is in Andover, while Colby-Sawer College is in New London.
