A GOOD REASON TO GO

National Scenic Byway

The White Mountain Trail offers New England s most rugged mountain scenery as it travels easily through three historic notches or mountain passes. Views abound of villages and unspoiled National Forest. Stops include views of Mount Washington and the grand Mount Washington Hotel, mountain cascades, wildlife, and the Appalachian Trail.
