More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air‑conditioned vehicle into a wind that seems to carry the mountain itself—cool, sharp, full of spruce resin and crushed granite. Your guide checks the map, then points toward a ridge: today could mean a summit view from the highest peak in the Northeast, a walk through a granite gorge, and a boardwalk beside cascading waterfalls.

History
The White Mountains were heavily logged in the 19th century; early conservationists and federal actions in the early 20th century helped create the White Mountain National Forest and protect alpine areas.
Conservation
Alpine zones are fragile—stick to trails, pack out waste, and follow Leave No Trace principles to protect rare plants and fragile soils.
