JULY IS NATIONAL PARKS AND REC MONTH
How lucky are we that we get to play, vacation, and live in the White Mountain National Forest?

There are over twenty state parks between Coos and Carroll Counties, and some of the most well known parks within these counties include Mount Washington State Park, Crawford Notch State Park, Jericho State Park, and Echo Lake State Park, which span from North Conway, New Hampshire up to Gorham, New Hampshire, and Over to Harts Location, New Hampshire.

Within them you can find hiking trails, waterfalls, swimming holes, fishing spots, state campgrounds, and more. To explore some of these natural treasures, click the link.

The White Mountains is also home to twenty-one known Native American sites, with villages, camps, quarries, hunting grounds, travel-ways, and spiritual places protected within the forest.
We encourage you to reflect on the history that led to the designation of the White Mountain National Forest, and the parks within them. Read more about legislative laws and history that recognizes this land, here, and learn more about becoming an ally to this national forest by putting the Leave No Trace Principles into action and familiarizing yourself with the "Don't Take NH for Granite,"
the Granite State Promise to protect, respect, and preserve the state of NH.
HELP THE VALLEY STAY OPEN
MASK EXPECTATIONS

NH no longer has an active state-wide mask mandate, meaning that masks policies are now set by individual businesses.

Please come to the valley prepared to wear your mask when asked by businesses; and join us in continuing to practice kindness as we continue to make our way out of this pandemic.
