Much of New Hampshire, nicknamed “The Granite State”, is covered in beautiful and heavily forested mountains and hills with an abundance of wildlife. Granite peaks, rock formations, gorges, and cliffs dotted throughout the state (along with rivers and lakes) have created spectacular places to explore and simply enjoy the scenery. In the famous Flume Gorge, visitors can walk along a wooden boardwalk next to a river between vertical granite cliffs. Just beautiful! New Hampshire’s fall foliage is legendary as the hillsides turn bright orange and “leaf peepers” from around the country visit their favorite locations, including the famed Kancamagus Scenic Byway.

The beauty of a red fox against the white and grey of a harsh winter is captured in this design. A band of tracks in the snow adds a bit of whimsy.
