Travel
to New Hampshire
New Hampshire is part of the New England region. It
is bounded by Quebec, Canada to the north and northwest; Maine and the Atlantic
Ocean to the east; Massachusetts to the south; and Vermont to the west. The
White Mountains range in New Hampshire spans the north-central portion of the
state, with Mount Washington being the tallest in the northeastern U.S., and
other mountains like Mount Madison and Mount Quincy Adams surrounding it.
Hampton Beach is a popular local summer destination. About
10 miles offshore are the Isles of Shoals, nine small islands (4 belonging to
the state) best known as the site of a 19th-century art colony founded by poet
Celia Thaxter, as well as the alleged location of one of the buried treasures
of the pirate Blackbeard. |
