The White Mountain National Forest is one of the most popular National Forests in the country: the region attracts nearly 7 million visitors annually and is within a day's drive for 70 million people. Growth in visitation has led to increased automobile traffic within the region that has impacted the visitor experience, available parking, the Forest's natural resources, and air quality.

When planning a visit to the WMNF, you can lighten the impact of your trip and create a more pleasurable experience for yourself and others by leaving your car at home and taking advantage of public transportation, local services or ride sharing opportunities.
