Winter, summer, spring or fall, I just love Mt. Washington, which has significant meaning to me and my husband. Three years ago during my February vacation, my husband and I, along with our golden retriever, Romeo hiked up the highest summit in NH. At the top on a beautiful, clear and low wind day, he proposed to me. (I guess I had to say yes if I wanted to get down the mountain:) I was surprised and extremely happy to accept his proposal. We spent half an hour sharing our visions for a small wedding (we decided to get married "On Golden Pond" and everyone would canoe to Church Island), and I kept asking about his proposal plan (I wonder how many people are proposed to on Mt. Washington - in the winter!).
ReplyDeleteI love summer & Fall. During summer and fall in the Northern NH is beautiful. All the purples, reds, oranges, and yellows in the trees is such a pretty site. The green grass, and the "White Mountaintops". Nothing is better than the landscape and scenes of New Hampshire. I <3 NH

The mountains are easily my favorite place to be. They are out of civilization and into the wild. Up above the northern NH lands in your own summit of utopia. I have hiked many 4000 ft. mountains with my Dad.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place up here in the white mountains would have to be cannon mountain. The views are spectacular and the skiing is always good if you know the mountain. not a lot of people go there so it isn't too crowded.

I like summer a lot because you can go to echo lake, go biking, go hiking, just being outside. I also like fall too because it starts getting cooler but still weather that if nice to be outside, my favorite part is the leaves when they turn because they turn bright red, orange, yellow, and green. Everywhere you look you are surrounded with lots of colored trees. HP
ReplyDeleteECHO LAKE!!! i love to go to Echo Lake, even if the water can be really cold. it is a fun place to hang out and we have b-bq's a lot.
ReplyDeletei also like to go on hikes, the outdoors is so beautiful esspecially when you get to the top and can only see trees and sky...no houses!

I love the special things about New Hampshire. I like going on hikes and getting to the very top of the mountain and see what you just hiked. I really like going kayaking on rivers and tubing down rivers. I would rather be living in the city or by the beach because I don't like the cold at all, but when it is summertime in new hampshire i think it's a really nice place to be. MB
ReplyDeleteI usually don't like living in Northern NH that well, but there is alot that i do enjoy doing, mostly having to do with the outdoors. Hiking, swiming, and playing sports outdoors are alot of things i like doing. If your active then theres alot to do in Northern NH, and the scenery is always good to look at. ry
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with the mountains. Whether it's the summer or the winter I want to be on top of Cannon. The views, the air, the freshness and freedom of being up there is incredible. I'm always going to come back to this place no matter what.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place is Lafayette mountain it is so beautiful up there. you feel like you are on top of the world; its such an amazing feeling.

Cannon mountain is probably my favorite place, because it is so peaceful and just a place to hang out. By the way echo lake is probably the worst place to go.....ever.....grace. JK
ReplyDeleteMr. Rennel's Ice Cream parlor is one of my favorites places in Northern NH. When you walk in you see moose everywhere and profile pictures. Also his ice-cream tastes amazing! My second favortie place is the Littleton Bookstore. They have any book you want, and they're nice! OP
ReplyDeleteThere are alot of places that I like to go to in the north country.My favorite is when it is the summer,and going to the moredam boat lunch. I love jumping off the rocks and laying down and socking up the sun.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place in northern new hampshire is Mt. Washington.

I love living in the White Mountains, there isn't much to do around here which makes you think and be creative. Some of my favorite places are Echo Lake, Cannon Mountain, hiking Bald Knob or Artist Bluff, heading into the "big town" of Littleton, checking out Chutter's Candy, Littleton Bookstore, GoldHouse is a must. Being outdoors is mostly the main thing you have to do when you live around here, which is great because the scenery is absolutley beautiful and worth looking at. HA
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place in northern New Hampshire is Upper Falls for sure. The water is freezing, but it is so worth it to jump off the highest rock into the tumbling waterfall underneath. Swimming into the cave behind the waterfall is something that EVERYONE should do at least once. You haven’t until you've swum at Upper Falls. ES
ReplyDeleteEcho lake is one of my favorite places. Also i love to go cruzing around in the car with friends during the warm weather. Mostly because this is northern New Hampshire and you DONT know what you will run into (a crazed old new englander or a moose), but also because its so beautiful up hear. RH
ReplyDeleteLiving in the White Mountains is always a blast. If you do not enjoy the outdoors, that could be a problem. Swimming at Echo Lake is a must in the summer. The water is frigid but it feels amazing on those hot summer days. Small hikes such as Bald Knob and Artist Bluff are always fun and quick. Longer hikes such as Lafayette or Cannon gives the most breath-taking sights you probably will ever see. Coffee pot is amazing because their food is delicious and cheap. SB
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place in Bethlehem is my backyard. I love laying out my towel and tanning in the sun. I also enjoy going for long runs on dirt roads. jt
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place in the White Mountain is the Lancaster Fair. They have a wide variety of things to do and it is always at the end of the summer. My favorite thing to watch is the truck pulls and look at all the farm animals. Also looking at all the neat new equipment is fun too such as snow machines and four wheelers. JY
ReplyDeleteI think season allow people to have different favorite places in function of the seasons. For me, I love to ski on the side of the mountains during the winter. In the Spring, I play tennis with friends and we discover again the sun. During the fall, I hiked until the end of the mountains and enjoy the wonderful colors of this season. CD
ReplyDeleteIt would be just right next to my house, there is a big lake hidden by trees. It's really peaceful...
ReplyDeleteAB

ReplyDeletedg
my favorite place in northern new hampshire would have to be lower falls in the summer because its a refreshing relief from the humidity and bugs in the summer. i prefer to swim in water, not inhale it...
ReplyDelete~S.S
My favorite place in NH is the top of Cannon Mountain in the winter. When you turn around on the chair lift and look at the landscape its gives you such a rush because you can see so much and you're up so high. It's the greatest. BG
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place is the campground! During the day you go swimming and get a wicked nice tan, then to the playground and chill out before dinner and then after dinner you start a campfire and roast marshmallows on it! On the really warm nights you tent out and find all the quarters possible so you can go to the arcade and buy lots of candy in the crazy candyland machine! RK
ReplyDeleteI love just going around town just for a walk in the spring, summer and fall but in the winter I spend a lot of time at Bretton Woods skiing. NS
ReplyDeleteOne place I like to go to is the basin in Franconia Notch.
ReplyDeleteMG
In the summertime in the White Mountains, my favorite place to be is down the hill from my house at the dam in the river. It has a calmer bank before the water rushes through the dam and has a wide enough shoreline to play in the mud or sand. Friends and I place our towels on the sunwarmed cement of the dam and tan or sit after taking a dip in the river. We also enjoy going down the chutes from the calmer part of the river through the dam into the more choppy waters. Tubing in the river is also a fun way to play in it. The water sounds great so close to us as we lay on the dam, and it feels great in the summer heat! It can be exciting and adventurous, and it also can be calm and relaxing. The Israel River is a place I love to be when it's warm!
ReplyDelete-EV
The River walk right by the Isreal River in Lancaster, NH. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteKD
I enjoy being out in nature, wading in a river. It's freezing cold, but the beautiful surroundings and the loud rushing water make it really pleasant. Any river is fine; a favorite spot is off of a particular hiking trail in Gorham that my family visited this year. When you're in the river, it's easy to forget about the business of civilized life.
ReplyDelete-KNS
I love to be in the woods. CER
ReplyDeleteone of my favorite places in the white mountains are the medows in jefferson because if you want to calm down and have a nice place to think you can just walk around town and almost no cars drive by.

My favorite place in New Hampshire would have to be the yard on the side of my house. It is a lot of fun to sit outside around the fire with my family and friends late at night and just hang out. I like to be out there and have smores while looking at a glowing fire and feeling the warmth of it. MK
ReplyDeleteupper falls is were it is at.
ReplyDeleteSummer and fall are my favorite time of year. In the summer you can go to all the natural places in the white mountains like going to water falls state park like franconia notch its beautiful. My favorite place in the summer time to go is diannas baths in north conway is amazing there. In the Fall i just like looking at the leaves people come form all around to go leave watching its an easy way to get away from your real life
ReplyDeleteM.b
Santa's Villege of corse! It looks like Christmas threw up! Parents yelling at their kids! Kids crying! What could be more fun? My favorite place there is "Santa's Closet" because you can get lost!

My favorite place in the North Country is my Grandparents backyard. They live in B-Town on a back road. It's amazing there in the fall. I have this big tree I like to climb in their yard and watch whats going on. It is so peaceful!
ReplyDeleteMM

ReplyDeleteI love going to the Rocks Estate in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. It is so beatiful up there and I often go for walks with my mother and dogs.

If you have ever walked through downtown Franconia on the fourth of July you will know as well as I do that it's a busy place. Families, couples, the elderly and the young stroll through the town, which has been decorated with red, white, and blue. The parade is the climax of all the festivities, and the traditional sport's shop vs. Franconia Rec water fight is always fun to watch. The duck race is also a favorite event, and Mojo's lemonade will enrich the etire experience.
ReplyDeleteMN
Cannon mountian, it is basically my life...no joke...I have spent over a year of my life at cannon, and plan on spending many more!
ReplyDeleteCJS
Swimming in all the rivers during the summer is one of my favorite activities. Jumping on trampolines and jumping off the porch during the winter are also some of my favorites. There are so many things to do here and most of them are very enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteKS
The bachelorettes pad at Copper Cannon Camp, my friends and I have some good memories from there. Like the Party in the USA video, CC, AM,NC, and KA know what I'm talking about!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place in Northern New Hampshire whould have to be the middle of no where. You can do anything out there. Sometimes it is just nice to lay back and take in the beautiful sights you see all around you. I love the peace and serenity of being alone in the middle of no where. Plus, no one can find you. I could just stay out there for days on end. I love the middle of no where.
ReplyDeleteZF

ReplyDeleteMy favorite place to go in the White Mountais is Littleton, because "the Big City" makes me feel more at home. =) ~MM
ReplyDeleteMy favorite places are nowhere specific. Going on adventures are best when I turn a corner, and I either step in a puddle or fall down a little hill. Anything that takes me by surprise is really what draws me in. I never know what's around the bend, it keeps life interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place to be is exploring the "outdoors" of New Hampshire durring any of its glorious seasons. -KH
ReplyDeleteMy favorite places to go in the white mountains are roads like Grandveiw and Lovers Lane, because the veiws, uninterupted by houses, are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI like my house. I also like my friend's house.

ReplyDeletemy favorite place would have to be upper and lower falls. The cold water is very refreshing in the hot summer sun.
ReplyDeletemy favorite thing to do is in the summer and going swimming with friends.

I like my home. Nowhere better to be then my house. Despite the occasional smell from the catbox due to owning six cats and the psychopath that rooms with us (Nick Powers aka Beavis), I love it. I have access to all of my stuff and I don't have to think about the stress of schoolwork and other things. I feel safer there.

ReplyDeleteI love driving down the back roads and finding myself lost. I like watching the seasons change.

Lake Winnipesaukee will always hold a special place in my heart. My grandparents used to have a house down there. In the summer we would go for boat rides, and in the winter we would go ice skating. My family and I made many memories there.
ReplyDeleteThe woods I.R
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place is Mount Washington
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place is Cannon. I like to ski.
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite place in the north country is upper falls. Upper falls is a natural place where you can jump off cliffs into the cold river water. Liam Demers
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Place in the White Mountains is on top of MT. Lafayette.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place to be in the North Country has been and will always be The Rocks Estate.
ReplyDeleteThe Rocks Estate feels to be a second home to me. As a child I would return from school, pack up a bag of goodies such as my American Doll and a Peanut Butter and Jelly then make the hike up to The Rocks Estate. I would spend hours up at the top of the Rock's hill lost in my imagintation. I would go on adventures through the woods, climb trees until I felt on top of the world. Up at the Rock's I was untouchable!
Having the the Christmas trees surround me I felt like I was a wild, majestic forest. A forest that surronds you with the smell of tree sap and fresh air.
I.H.

ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite place is Cannon Mountain. I love to snowboard so much. Snowboarding is my number one passion, when I snowboard I feel so alive. Snowboarding is definitely my favorite thing to do in the entire world. For me nothing compares to snowboarding. Rushing down the slope shooting over snow and ice is the most amazing feeling I have ever experienced. M.E.G
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place in New Hampshire is really all around, and that's the great thing about living up here. No matter where you go there is always natural healthy nature all around. Driving through the notch though in fall is always so pretty, seeing the mountains and all the different colors in the trees.
