White Mountains
The White Mountains cover about a quarter of the state of New Hampshire, and are the most rugged mountains in New England. The range is heavily visited due to its proximity to Boston and New York City.
Most of the area is public land, including the White Mountain National Forest[?] as well as a number of state parks. Its most famous peak is Mount Washington, the highest mountain in the Northeast U.S. and home to the fastest winds on record.
The range is also known for the eight High Huts operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club. It is bisected by the Appalachian Trail.
Mount Monadnock, reportedly the second-most-climbed mountain in the world, is further south in New Hampshire, and is not part of the White Mountains.
