Whether it’s a walk down the street, some time sitting in the park or even something that requires a little more exertion, there’s no better place to enjoy some time outdoors than in New Hampshire. But, even if you feel you’ve been spending too much time in the Granite State there are ways of getting a broader world view. Even if it’s just a literal view of a neighboring state!
