White Mountain National Forest
Park Overview
Located north of New Hampshire's central plateau, lies the White Mountains National Forest, cloaked with forests and laced with streams. Among the ranges and ridges are the highest mountains in the Northeast, the Presidential Range, which culminate in the bare granite summit of 6,288-foot Mount Washington, Mounts Adams, Jefferson, Monroe and Madison also exceed 5,000 feet in elevation. The Appalachian Trail in New Hampshire runs mainly through the White Mountains, including a section along the Presidential Ridge that is the longest section of the trail above the treeline.

Some Things Stay The Same
I have to give my thanks to the Parks Dept. for keeping the Whites pretty much the same. Been going there about 50 years and I can count on still finding wilderness, well kept trails, good parking areas, and the peace I came to find. You have my praise for protecting this area for generations to come! I miss the Old Man though.

not a park! / looks like a park
The white mountain National Forest is not a national Park. It is a working forest administered by the Forest Service, a subgroup of the US dept of Agriculture. As such they manage the forest on the basis of multiple uses and a sustained yield of timber. Timber harvests are part of the management edict.
