Bean's Purchase: Gulf of Slides
Gulf of Slides descends the southeastern flank of Mount Washington in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, its steep glacial ravine helping define the rugged eastern side of the Presidential Range. At 6,288 feet, Mount Washington is the highest summit in the northeastern United States, rising above the forested terrain of the White Mountain National Forest. The Gulf leads into serious mountain country, where rock, spruce-fir woodland and broad open slopes give this part of Bean’s Purchase an alpine scale. On the summit, the Mount Washington Observatory has maintained a scientific presence since 1932, continuing a tradition of mountain weather research central to the peak’s identity.

New Hampshire occupies a mountainous inland position in the northeastern United States. The White Mountains define much of its northern character, culminating at Mount Washington, whose summit is famed for severe and rapidly changing weather. Southward, the Merrimack River links former mill cities including Manchester and Nashua, while Lake Winnipesaukee anchors the Lakes Region with wooded shores and island-dotted water. The state’s compact scale brings ski country, forest roads, historic seaports and New England town centres within reach of one another. Granite quarrying helped give New Hampshire its familiar nickname, the Granite State. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across New Hampshire.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
