New Hampshire, the Granite State, is justly proud of its looming mountain ranges and a local tradition of getting out into nature, early and often. So, the state welcomes visitors aimed at enjoying eco-tourism, which is simply exploring a place with no use of motorized vehicles. New Hampshire natives themselves lead the way with extensive trails for every level of ability. In winter, there are lots of opportunities to play in and skim across the snow, from snow tubing down slick hills to tromping on snowshoes through glistening woods. A low-tech or no-tech walk in the woods can be a wonderful way to hang out with your kids, see them enjoy the use of their muscles and imaginations, and teach them to love nature. It takes little technology – maybe a set of binoculars – to spy on New Hampshire’s wildlife, including the elusive and magnificent moose. In summer, the state’s Atlantic coast and Lakes Region lays out a banquet of Earth-friendly water play: swimming, shore fishing, paddling, or just sun bathing on the beach. Most people are thinking about the value of a healthy planet these days. An environmentally friendly vacation is good for you and for Mother Earth too.
