Our handwritten guide on Backpacking New Hampshire
New Hampshire, USA, is part of the New England region of the United States, which comprised of the states Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. This state is one of the earliest states settled by British colonials in the United States and one of the original thirteen colonies that founded the United States of America. Perhaps this colonial revolutionist attitude is the reason for the state's motto, "Live Free or Die." Nicknamed "The Granite State," New Hampshire is filled with granite formations and quarries.
Concord is the state capital of New Hampshire and Manchester is its biggest city. Portsmouth is also a popular tourist destination, as it is the original city settled by British colonialists and thus one of the oldest cities in the States.
New Hampshire is located in the northeast of the United States and is known for its natural beauty, lakes, and outdoor sports. It has some of the largest mountains on the East Coast and many tourists visit New Hampshire to experience these mountains by skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, hiking, mountaineering, and rock climbing. Particularly popular is the White Mountain National Forest, where tourists can hike the Appalachian Trail or hike Mount Washington, the highest mountain in the northeastern United States. Many families take the Mount Washington Cog Railway to the top of the mountain; the railway is the first mountain-climbing cog railway in the world.
