New Hampshire Motorcycle Roads and Trips

New Hampshire (NH), like it's sister to the west - Vermont, is a treasure trove of great scenic motorcycle rides. The Granite State lives up to it's name as being rocky, and is also generally hilly (home to the highest peak in the northeastern US, Mt. Washington, at 6,288 ft), densely wooded, boasts 1,300 lakes and ponds, and is blessed with a small but beautiful 13 miles of Atlantic coastline.
