TripSavvy's editorial guidelines Updated on 06/14/19 Share Pin Email New Hampshire is tough to beat for winter scenery, and the most extraordinary way to appreciate the serenity of snow-filled forests is on a pair of cross-country skis or snowshoes. Here's your guide to 3 places in New Hampshire where you can cross-country ski or snowshoe and burn calories while you marvel at the views. 01 of 03 Jackson Ski Touring Foundation Jackson Ski Touring Foundation The picturesque village of Jackson is home to one of the best cross-country skiing spots not only in New Hampshire but in all of New England. The non-profit, community-based Jackson Ski Touring Foundation maintains 150 kilometers of trails including trails specifically designated for snowshoeing. The bad news: You need to be a member of the Jackson Ski Touring Club to use these trails. But wait! The good news is: One-day memberships are available. 02 of 03 Bretton Woods Nordic Center Bretton Woods Nordic Center With 100 kilometers of well-groomed trails, the nordic ski area at the historic Omni Mount Washington Hotel is one of the largest cross-country destinations in the East. Venture into the White Mountain National Forest on traditional cross-country or skate skis or snowshoes, and experience the pristine beauty and energy of these old-growth woods. Rentals and lessons for all abilities and ages 5 and up are available. 03 of 03 America's Stonehenge America's Stonehenge Like its namesake in England, America's very own Stonehenge is an enigma. That makes it a fascinating attraction to explore year-round, and when snow blankets the ground surrounding these ancient, inexplicable ruins, you can rent snowshoes (or bring your own), and explore in an invigorating way. For a truly mysterious and memorable experience, sign up to participate in an evening Candlelight Snowshoeing excursion: hot chocolate and cookies included.
