New Hampshire
If you like nature and mountains, New Hampshire is the place for you. While not heavily populated up north, the mountains are home to more wildlife than you can imagine. Rivers and streams cut through 800,000-acre of White Mountain National Forest, and dense trees change leaves from summer greens to breathtaking shades of yellow and
red in the Fall, utterly dramatic. South New Hampshire provides lakes galore and opportunities for discovering what people like Ernest Thompson, author of On Golden Pond, found so enchanting.
