White Mountain Trail

Description:

Take a drive through a landscape unspoiled by over-development when you travel the White Mountain Trail of New Hampshire. Enjoy the uninterrupted mountain and river views, wetlands, and woodlands that captured the imagination of writer Nathaniel Hawthorne and inspired landscape artist Thomas Cole. Despite the passage of time since the days of Cole and Hawthorne, this New England rural area remains beautiful.
