The White Mountain National Forest is famous for its mountains, waterfalls, and gorges. The forest is spread across both New Hampshire and western Maine. If you decide to visit in the fall, make sure you drive along the Kancamagus Scenic Byway for a visual feast of colors draping from branches that overhang the road. The hiking and mountain trails here are some of the best in the northeastern U.S. The forest is home to both day use and overnight recreation facilities, as well as a network of accessible trails.
