See it from above and below
There's no better way to take in the mighty White Mountain National Forest than seeing it from the air on one of the scenic helicopter pleasure flights. Back on the ground, you can hike along the beautiful little wooden boardwalks which hug and crisscross the rocky babbling streams and waterfalls. Perhaps even more scenic is the seriously photogenic Rocky Gorge, a series of cascades eroded by the Swift River over thousands of years. If you're bringing kids, they'll love the exciting zip lines and suspension bridges that cross the forested park.
Busy beavers and nesting peregrines
