The White Mountain National Forest contains over 750,000 acres and the Presidential Mountain Range of which Mt. Washington is the highest peak in the Northeast at over 6,288 ft.  The “Whites” are home to 48 major peaks over 4,000 ft. and contain six federally designated wilderness areas.  One hundred miles of the Appalachian Trail travel through the White Mountain National Forest.
