New Hampshire
New Hampshire packs mountains, lakes, and a small slice of coastline into a state you can cross in under three hours.
The White Mountains have some of the best hiking in the Northeast, including the Presidential Range and the old cog railway up Mount Washington. Lake Winnipesaukee draws the summer crowds, and Portsmouth on the coast has one of the better-preserved colonial downtowns in New England.
It has no state sales tax, which locals will mention more than once.
