Welcome to
NEW HAMPSHIRE
Up in the Granite State, it’s impossible not to enjoy the great outdoors. Many of New England’s best ski resorts are found here, and the adventures continue all year with hiking in the springtime, water-skiing and boating adventures on Lake Winnipesaukee in the summer and — of course — legendary fall foliage in the autumn. There are plenty of great road trips, charming small towns and well-worn tourist spots, but it’s easy to get off the beaten path as well. New Hampshire offers something for everyone, from family-friendly outings in Franconia Notch to solitary sojourns. Whatever you’re looking for from your next vacation, you’re sure to find it in New Hampshire, where the state’s patriotic motto pretty much sums it up: “Live Free or Die.”

New Hampshire is a state of firsts — the first to declare independence, the first to build a free public library, the first to hold a women’s strike and the first place to plant potatoes in the United States. No state in New England offers a better combination of rugged outdoors with informative history. So while many come to New Hampshire to visit the White Mountains ski resorts in the winter or to road trip during peak foliage season in the fall, we suggest you look just a bit deeper at all the history there is to be discovered in the Granite State.

Options abound in the Bay State. There are elegant city hotels in Boston, such as the glamorous waterfront Boston Harbor Hotel (where you can park your boat and order dinner delivered to the pier) and the intimate Eliot Hotel nestled on tree-lined Commonwealth. “Down the Cape,” as locals say, it’s all about being near the water at the historic Chatham Bars Inn or Wequassett Resort and Golf Club (make sure to stop in for a nightcap at the Chatham Squire if you’re in the area). And if it’s a cozy Berkshires retreat you’re after, look no farther than the historic Red Lion Inn, located just minutes from antique shops and walking trails as well as Tanglewood, the iconic summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
STAY
New Hampshire was the summer retreat of choice for affluent East Coasters in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and a number of iconic “grand hotels” remain today, thanks to new owners and recent renovations (don’t mind the ghosts, though). A quintessential mountain destination, the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort, offers endless fun for the whole family in the heart of New Hampshire’s majestic White Mountains. From hiking and horse-drawn carriage rides to water slides and skiing, there is plenty to enjoy no matter the season. Closer to the coast, the Wentworth by the Sea delivers both ocean views and close proximity to the region’s most popular beaches.
Red Jacket Resorts
Red Jacket Mountain View Resort, centrally located in North Conway, NH in the heart of the majestic White Mountains, offers endless fun for the whole family. Enjoy scenic horse-drawn carriage rides, camp fires, roasting marshmallows, evening movies, and the one and only Kahuna Laguna Waterpark where it’s always 84 degrees. Zip down the high-speed tubes, frolic in the wave pool, splash under the tipping bucket and more! Outdoor activities include hiking, biking, waterfalls, shopping, skiing and attractions are all minutes away. Escape to the Red Jacket Mountain View to spread out, relax, and enjoy gracious service and fresh mountain air.

Expect lots of hidden gems and small-town favorites in New Hampshire, whether that’s the saltwater taffy found at Fuzziwig’s Candy Factory on the boardwalk at Hampton Beach or the world-famous flapjacks at Polly’s Pancake Parlor near Franconia up north. Some of the best apples around can be found in New Hampshire as well — keep an eye out for pick-your-own apple orchards if you’re visiting in the fall, and make sure to indulge in some warm apple cider doughnuts when you’re here. There’s also an unofficial dispute with Vermont about who makes the best maple syrup. Our advice? Try both and decide for yourself!
FOOD
If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, it doesn’t get much better than New Hampshire: The terrain is more rugged, the white water runs faster and the mountains are bigger. A day hike up the imposing Mount Washington is an essential experience for any adrenaline junkie, but don’t worry — there are plenty of gentler hiking paths throughout the state to appeal to hikers of all abilities (Mount Washington even has
a drivable “auto road”). The Lakes Region is another can’t-miss part of the state, where boating, fishing and water sports of all kinds reign supreme. And of course, no trip to the Granite State is complete without a road trip along its 18 miles of sandy Atlantic beaches.

There’s a reason the first summer resort town in the United States was founded at Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, in the 18th century — Americans have long recognized this part of New England for its fresh air, pristine lakes and adventurous terrain. That tradition continues to this day, with visitors coming from around the world to take advantage of New Hampshire’s year-round offerings. There’s something suited for all sorts of travelers, whether you’re a road tripper looking to see some stunning fall foliage, a couple looking for a romantic getaway or a multigenerational group looking for some family-friendly adventure. But despite its immensely popular tourist destinations like Hampton Beach on the coast or Franconia Notch in the White Mountains, there is still plenty of wilderness in New Hampshire for those who prefer something off the beaten path.
Speaking of off the beaten path, try your luck with one of the popular workshops at the Team O’Neil Rally School, one of the foremost race car driving schools in the country and the only one that features New Hampshire’s White Mountains as its backdrop. After seeing if you have what it takes behind the wheel, you can take the whole family over to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon to catch a thrilling car race — it’s the largest sports complex in New England, and it hosts the northeast’s only NASCAR National Series events. You may also be surprised to discover that New Hampshire is a fantastic place to learn to surf, thanks to its gentle waves and sandy beaches. There are a number of surf shops along the Granite State’s coast, with more and more popping up each summer — a perfect example of how this wonderful New England state continues to reinvent itself as an outdoor destination again and again.
