  • New Hampshire's best hiking experience is traversing the Presidential Range, staying in the European-style Appalachian Mountain Club huts, and climbing as many as eight 4,000-footers.
  • Reaching nearly 5,000 feet, Mount Moosilauke is the first mountain above treeline northbounders will reach on the Appalachian Trail.
  • Tuckerman’s Ravine is the classic ice-climbing location at fearsome Mount Washington, and it possesses multiple routes of all levels.
  • Both road- and mountain bikers will find extensive opportunities in the forest. Just remember that the Appalachian Trail and the six wilderness areas are off-limits.
