Mount Cardigan is in the western part of the state, with stunningly beautiful views toward the White Mountains and the higher peaks in Northern New Hampshire.
Frankenstein Cliff is popular with ice climbers because of the larger-than-life icicles that form on the cliff. Plus, you'll be close to Arethusa Falls, New Hampshire's tallest water fall.
During the summer New Hampshire's waterways bustle with activity, but during the winter the rivers are calm and serene. The Contoocook runs from the mountains through Concord and beyond, so there are plenty of places to enjoy the view.
New Hampshire's seacoast is short but stunning. The crashing waves, unique ice formations and expansive scenery will make you fall more in love with winter.
One of the state's most popular tourist attractions during the summer, The Basin is equally stunning and much more secluded during the winter.
The marshlands surrounding Great Bay are surprisingly colorful during the winter months, and well worth a visit.
New Hampshire's northernmost city is, unsurprisingly, one of its snowiest. If you prefer winter adventure surrounded up nature at its best, this is the place for you.
When the ice settles in, Lake Winnipesaukee becomes a bustling city full of winter activity. Ice fishing, snowmobiling and many other activities will keep you busy!
If you're a hearty hiker there is no need to put away your boots just because there is snow on the ground. The whites are absolutely stunning when the snow flies, hence their name.
