Autumn is a great time to get outdoors, and New Hampshire's spectacular White Mountains provide the perfect departure from drab cubicle life and the city's grind. Home to rustic covered bridges, mountain roads, abundant wildlife, and natural attractions like magnificent Arethusa Falls, the range draws vacationers who are looking for a true connection with the wonders of nature or a peaceful place to reconnect with loved ones. Ascend the region's highest peak on the historic Mount Washington Cog Railway or take in the spectacular fall foliage on a two-mile nature walk at Flume Gorge, and those blaring car horns and overflowing inboxes will be a distant memory.

Visit North Conway, nestled against the backdrop of the White Mountain National Forest, take advantage of tax-free shopping at the town's quaint antique stores, and explore points of interest like the MWV Children’s Museum. Then, punctuate your day with a world-class meal at one of the several incredible restaurants you'll find there. You can also take a spin through the forest on the Kancamagus Highway and visit the Russell-Colbath Historic Site and stroll the Forest Discovery Trail. From canoeing on the majestic Saco River to visiting the friendly, tree-lined avenues of cozy Sunapee to hiking in the Bretton Woods Mountain Resort Area, New Hampshire's White Mountains promise breathtaking natural grandeur, thrilling adventure, and fond memories in the making.
