Some would say that New Hampshire has some of the most spectacular natural scenery anywhere, and in many respects, I would agree! Sure, there are great natural wonders all over the world, but to have this in our backyard is pretty great. We are also fortunate to have one of the wildest and most ecologically-diverse mountain ranges in the world here and along with the numerous other New Hampshire landscapes, the Presidential Range ranks as the most impressive.

New Hampshire's Presidential Range has been revered for centuries for its wild beauty, formidable weather, and challenges to mountaineers from around the world.
