New Hampshire
Artists and poets aren’t the only ones New Hampshire enchants. The disarming natural beauty and charming small towns of the New England state lay ready and waiting for all who care to get swept off their feet. Dense forests, glittering lakes, sweeping valleys and rugged mountains serve as the inspiration for art colonies and famed writers, where fire-colored autumns and alpine winter wonderlands keep their creative juices flowing. If you’re not busy writing odes and watercoloring, you can ski, kayak and hike around the White Mountains, or fish and swim at pristine Squam Lake. At the resorts of Waterville Valley, you can golf by summer and ski by winter—and indulge in tasteful luxury all year round. Meanwhile, New Hampshire’s quaint towns retain an old-fashioned New England vibe often lost in neighboring states. The cobbled streets of colonial Portsmouth are steeped in history, and 18th century architecture, while the town’s solid economy lends a modern vitality. Check out the jack-o’-lanterns of Keene’s pumpkin festival, and cozy up in the bed and breakfasts of Wolfeboro, the “oldest summer resort in America.” You may not turn into a poet, but you may find yourself melting into New Hampshire’s bountiful embrace.
