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
