While driving through New Hampshire, concealed wonders are easier found than sought. Abandoned train tracks look like works of art painted with fallen leaves.

Buried in the northeastern corner of the White Mountains (which consume a quarter of the state), visitors often stumble upon hidden trails, ponds and streams.

Whether your pup tags along or not, the White Mountains are clearly a must-see in the Granite State, especially at #goldenhour. Down for a hike? Venture up Mount Washington, the tallest peak in New England.

🍂  Where to Stay: The Notchland Inn, a historical granite mansion built in the 1860s, tucked away in the state’s national park.

If the White Mountains inspire you to take to the slopes, try a snowboard from Evo.
