Fodor’s Travel gave New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest the top spot in the publication’s list of the 10 most beautiful forests in the U.S. Vermont’s Green Mountain National Forest also did well coming in at No. 8.
Considering how the coronavirus has forced many to rethink travel plans, taking a closer look at these beautiful forests which one can easily explore from Boston may be worth thinking about as a way to beat the heat, get out of the city and socially distance while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Fodor’s Travel writes: “White Mountain National Forest is located in eastern New Hampshire (and western Maine) and throughout it you will find alpine peaks, hardwood forests, lakes, streams, and a vast variety of wildlife. It’s known for being some of the most untamed country of the Northeast. It’s also known for having some of the world’s worst weather conditions, with excessive wind speeds and snowfall–this forest certainly has a personality, and sometimes that personality is “frightening.” It’s gorgeous though, too, with maple, oak, and birch trees scattered about at low elevations, spruces and firs in the higher elevations.”
