The White Mountains region of New Hampshire has long been known for its "natural splendor, cultural richness, historical charm, and stimulating recreation." The Trail is important for its varying topography, the mountain and river views that it offers, the variety of its vegetation areas, and the 18th and 19th century buildings and structures located along it. Much of the corridor is an excellent example of a typical New England rural area unspoiled by overdevelopment.
