New Hampshire

New Hampshire is a state carved not just by glaciers and rivers but by defiance and granite resolve. It is where freedom isn’t just a slogan—it’s marrow-deep. The whispering forests and stone-carved mountains guard the memory of revolutionaries, radicals, poets, and pioneers who etched independence into every peak and pine. Here, you don’t just hike a trail—you trace the footsteps of those who dared to dream differently.

Scattered across the wild terrain are places where America’s soul crystallizes—sacred national sites where history isn’t kept behind glass but roars through waterfalls and echoes across mountain passes. In these raw corners of the Earth, the past stands tall and unflinching, just like the people who’ve called this place home.

New Hampshire is unapologetically itself—bold, stormy, and crystalline. It was the first to declare independence from British rule, the spark before the blaze. Its granite roots hold steady while its rivers rush wild with the fire of liberty.

Come for the beauty; stay for the edge. This is not a backdrop—it’s a battleground of spirit and snow, independence and intensity.

I am so fortunate to have friends like MaryBeth and Tommy, who will host me in their homes and show me the sites! Plus, I visited the home and studio of America's most famous sculptor.
