There are many airports in New Hampshire. However, not all New Hampshire airports have regularly scheduled flights. We do not list the smallest airports, since there is no way to provide you flights from those airports.
The State of New Hampshire is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. The state ranks 44th in land area and 46th in total area of the 50 states and 41st in population. It was one of the Thirteen Colonies and became the ninth state to ratify the United States Constitution. New Hampshire was also the first U.S. state to have its own state constitution.
It is internationally famous for the New Hampshire primary, the first primary in the quadrennial American presidential election cycle. The primary draws more attention by far than all other primaries and has often been decisive in shaping the national contest.
Its license plates carry the famous state motto: "Live free or die." The state nickname is "The Granite State", in reference both to its geology and to its tradition of self-sufficiency. Several other official nicknames exist but are rarely if ever used.
Several famous individuals come from New Hampshire, such as Senator Daniel Webster, editor Horace Greeley, and founder of the Christian Science religion Mary Baker Eddy. New Hampshire also produced one president, Franklin Pierce.
New Hampshire's recreational attractions include skiing and other winter sports; observing the spectacular fall foliage; summer cottages along many lakes; motor sports at the New Hampshire International Speedway, home of NASCAR events and the Loudon Classic; and Bike Week, a popular motorcycle rally associated with the Loudon Classic, held in Laconia in June.
New Hampshire's major regions are the Great North Woods, the White Mountains, the Lakes Region, the Seacoast, the Merrimack Valley, the Monadnock Region, and the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee area. New Hampshire has the shortest ocean coastline of any U.S. state, with a length of 18 miles (29 km).
New Hampshire was home to the famous rock formation called the Old Man of the Mountain, a face-like profile in Franconia Notch, until May 2003, when the formation, an icon of the state, fell apart.
The White Mountains range in New Hampshire spans the north-central portion of the state, with Mount Washington being the tallest in the northeastern U.S., and other mountains like Mount Madison and Mount Adams surrounding it. With hurricane-force winds every third day on the average, over 100 recorded deaths among visitors, and conspicuous krummholz (dwarf, matted trees much like a carpet of bonsai trees), the upper reaches of Mount Washington claim the title of having the "worst weather on earth." A non-profit observatory is located on the peak for the purposes of observing the harsh environmental conditions.
In the flatter southwest corner of New Hampshire, another feature, the prominent landmark and tourist attraction of Mount Monadnock, has given its name to a general class of earth-forms—a monadnock signifying, in geomorphology, any isolated resistant peak rising from a less resistant eroded plain.
The Appalachian National Scenic Trail passes through New Hampshire, and the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site is located in Cornish. ()
