New Hampshire is known as the Granite State, and the nickname is certainly an appropriate one. The jagged granite mass of the White Mountains, the only range in the Northeast over 5,000 feet, is the state's dominant physical feature as well as the most popular attraction. New Hampshire's Atlantic Ocean coastline is short, only about 18 miles long, but it is scenic. Portsmouth is a historic port with an attractive dining and shopping district. Hampton Beach, midway between the Massachusetts and Maine borders, is a popular resort area. (Courtesy of Rand McNally http://www.randmcnally.com)
