Description
The New Hampshire quarter depicts one of New Hampshire’s former greatest natural attractions, “The Old Man of the Mountain,” a rock formation found on Mt. Cannon in Franconia Notch. “The New Hampshire quarter will give the rest of the nation a sense of New Hampshire’s natural beauty, its rich history and the character of our people,” said Governor Shaheen. Welcome to the beautiful state of New Hampshire! From the heavily forested north country, to its rugged mountains and clear blue lakes, to its historic coast, New Hampshire is naturally a magnet for vacationers. When the snows fall in the winter, New Hampshire becomes a true winter wonderland. Visitors from all over flock to the many mountain resorts, enjoying skiing on spectacular terrain that ranges from novice to expert. Cross-country skiing is also booming, with hundreds of miles of groomed trails weaving throughout the fields and forests. When summer arrives, boaters and swimmers head for the sparkling blue lakes, hikers and campers seek out the beauty of the mountains, and beach lovers head for the ocean. No words can adequately describe what happens in fall in New Hampshire. The hills become a festival of fall foliage color, the days are clear and crisp, the skies of the deepest blue, and the lakes sparkle with brilliant sunlight. Everywhere, there is color; in the fields and forests, on the hills, and in the picture-book villages. Yellows and browns, brilliant orange and fiery red, the changing foliage attracts visitors from all over the world to see this glorious and spectacular display. Source: United States Mint
