What to do in January
- Ski-town days in the White Mountains
- Snowshoeing on marked forest trails
- Ice-draped waterfall photography
Best-fit rigs: Motorhome · Truck or van
Know before you go
Mount Washington's weather is famously violent; treat all higher summits as expert winter terrain.

January tips for New Hampshire
Nights dip to freezing or below: insulated water hose, tank protection or a winterized rig, and extra propane.
Carry traction boards and check chain requirements before any mountain route.
Plan shorter driving days — winter-pattern daylight is limited and campground offices close early.
