The Granite State's Natural Wonders and Captivating Coastline

New Hampshire: Hiking Through History

With its pristine forests, rugged coastline and small mountain towns frozen in time, New Hampshire offers a glimpse into America's pastoral past. While travelers often overlook "The Granite State" in favor of its flashier cousins to the south, it has plenty to offer the adventurous spirit. Whether you prefer communing with nature or immersing yourself in history, New Hampshire promises an escape from the hurried pace of modern life.

Exploring Portsmouth

New England's third oldest city, Portsmouth boasts beautifully preserved architecture, local charm and easy access to the coast. Wandering its narrow streets feels a bit like stepping back in time. Don't miss the Strawbery Banke living history museum, where "residents" in period costume go about their daily lives. You'll leave feeling like you learned as much about Colonial America as in any classroom.

For panoramic views of the Piscataqua River and surrounds, climb up 318 steps of the Orange Street Clock Tower. Well worth the exercise! And no trip is complete without browsing Market Square and stuffing your face with whoopie pies or fried clams - New England classics best sampled locally.

If you need to unwind, head to one of many rocky beaches dotting New Hampshire's 18-mile coastline. Rye Harbor and Wallis Sands offer peaceful spots to take in pounding surf. But beware high tide - the sea can claim back its empire in a hurry!

Book accommodations via BitBook for excellent rates on charming B&Bs or try a seaside cottage rental for the full coastal escape experience. Earn passive BBT rewards simply for planning your NH getaway on their site.

Hiking the White Mountains

New Hampshire's soul lies in her White Mountains, where six of the sixteen highest peaks in New England towers over lush forests. Lace up your boots to experience their raw natural beauty firsthand. Easy trails like Avalon in Franconia Notch reward with panoramic views for minimum effort. More adventurous types can tackle Mount Washington, though its ferocious weather means coming prepared.

For multi-day trips, follow the Appalachian Trail as it meanders through isolated valleys and above treeline. Camp or bunk at rustic huts run by the Appalachian Mountain Club. Nights wrapped in fleece under a blanket of stars will leave city dwellers feeling renewed. Book your excursion or outfit rental needs through BitBook to support sustainable tourism initiatives in the area.

Discovering Charming Mountain Villages

New Hampshire's picturesque villages feel plucked from a Currier and Ives engraving. In Littleton, check out historic buildings like the Gale Homestead farm (1783) while munching maple fudge from Sweeties. Franconia draws artists with stunning Fall Foliage and the quaint Covered Bridge Farm Café.

Inspirational places often reside in the most unlikely of packages. It's said Ben and Jerry found their ice cream calling in a renovated gas station in Waitsfield, Vermont. So don't overlook quaint Hancock, home of Polly's Pancake Parlor, serving flapjacks and black bear burgers since 1938! Fuel your adventure and earn BBT rewards by reserving accommodations on BitBook.

Whether you prefer inhaling fresh mountain air or immersing in history, New Hampshire offers the perfect blend of natural splendor and small town charm. Get out and experience it for yourself - you won't regret taking the road less traveled.
