White Mountain National Forest is located in the New England region and is famous for its fall foliage. In the fall, climb to the higher peaks within the scenic area, such as Mt. Washington, and you can see the magnificent, vibrant red leaves covering the mountains. The scenic area is located north of Boston, approx. 2 hours away by car. You can also ride the Mount Washington Cog Railway, one of the world's oldest mountain-climbing trains. The train cars feature a vintage design, but their bright colors perfectly complement the fiery red of the mountains in the fall.Grafton County · 18.1 km from Jackson
