New Hampshire is so full of natural wonders that it’s hard to pick a few favorites. We’ve got the mountains, the lakes, the ocean, and that amazing Granite State sky. There are infinite natural wonders in New Hampshire to take your breath away. Here are a few of the most incredible natural wonders from all corners of the state.
- Mount Washington
Mount Washington Auto Road/flickr At 6,288 feet, Mount Washington is the highest summit in the Northeast, and the crown of the Presidential Range. From the summit you can see New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts and even Canada! There’s a reason Native Americans considered the peak sacred.
- Lake Winnipesaukee

- The Atlantic Ocean

- Isles of Shoals

- Arethusa Falls

- Lost River Gorge
Bryn Pinzgauer/flickr Walking through Lost River Gorge, you’ll be in awe of the power of water. First forged by glaciers and then carved by the stream that play peek-a-boo beneath the granite, Lost River Gorge is a wonder you won’t want to miss out on.
- The autumn colors

- The Old Man of The Mountain

We’re so lucky to live among such natural beauty.
