New Hampshire. One of my favorite places I have never been. Don't ask me how I know, I just know. The rainbow you saw around the Sun is called a 'Sundog'. It is not unusual to see these in the mountains when the ice crystals are being blown around in the wind.

Hooray! Glad you got to see our corner of the world. Come back in October, it's even more beautiful here.

There's nothing like the blue sky of a New England sunny winter day!

I’m so glad you were able to visit my state of New Hampshire. I live in southern New Hampshire near the Massachusetts border. We are close to the ocean, the mountains and Boston. There are many people in New Hampshire with French-Canadian ancestry. My Mothers family are from the Canadian province of Quebec. My Fathers family have been in Massachusetts and New Hampshire since the 1630s during the Great Puritan Migration. You should come back in the Fall to see the New England Fall Foliage. Vermont and Maine are also fantastic states to visit in the fall.

I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying your time in New England! My family has resided here since the early 1600s, and there is truly no place with so much beauty and wonder that I would be more proud to call my home.

Oh, and BTW, if you ever get the chance to go to the top of Mt. Washington, on a clear day you can see the ocean.

Thank you for visiting New Hampshire, my new home. I grew up in New Mexico and California, and for most of my adult years, I lived in the Boston area. But now, for the last five years, New Hampshire has been home, and I'm glad of it. Our state nickname is the "Granite State" and our state motto is "Live Free or Die" which both tell you a lot about the kind of people we have here - solid and freedom-loving. We hope you come back. By, the way, there are sections of New Hampshire where French is spoken because of the French-speaking people coming from parts of Canada, It's a great place!

New England in the fall when the leaves change is incomparable and wildly breathtaking.

I hear New Hampshire is most beautiful state in Autumn 🎉

Winter is beautiful here in New Hampshire but the Fall foliage is spectacular.

I was born in Boston, and have lived nearby most of my life. In all that time, I never got up to Mt Washington. Close, but never quite that far. I have no idea why. It is beautiful country for sure.

My daughter and I hiked up Mt. Washington when she was 10. It definitely was an epic climb.

That reunlocked a core memory that I've been missing for my childhood. My grandparents taking me up there when I was a teen. That definitely made me smile seeing cog train. One of my favorite train rides ever

So excited to see you here in my beautiful home state of NH--you drove right through my hometown of Concord. Best thing about New England in general is the very distinct seasons. Fall is my absolute favorite--some time you should check out NH in October, it is GORGEOUS. But there is something to love in each season. Skating, skiing, and snowmobiling in the winter--then curling up by the fire with mug of coffee, a good book and my dog, spending the day at the beach or the lake,or hiking in the mountains in spring and summer, and then the fall brings apple picking, hay rides, state fairs, bonfires and halloween. I also loved your Boston videos as Boston is one of my absolute favorite cities. Quebec City is another of my faves.

As a resident of New Hampshire from the early 70's to the mid 80's, my high school and college years, I loved every minute I spent there. It was nice to see the old stomping grounds, I specifically remember going to the U.S. Ski Jumping Championships at Gunstock in 1977. It was a cold beautiful day, like the one you experienced, and still brings a smile to my face when I think about it. "Live Free Or Die". A truly gung ho attitude, and the state motto.

It's great that you're traveling to so many parts and seeing how different everywhere is. Most tourists just go to New York City and think they've seen the Northeast, but traveling around New England is what the Northeast really is. You can be in a major city like Boston and 30 minutes later be in the woods and mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, or go 20 minutes south of Boston and be in the beautiful seaside communities and beaches of Cape Cod.

My hometown of Pittsfield, NH does a wonderful Hot Air Balloon Rally. First few days of August every yr. Hot Air Balloons, Helicopter rides, vendors of food and jewelry, bands on the stage, carnival rides. Fireworks. It's really fun.

We vacationed in New Hampshire years ago, and had a great time there. We took the Cog Rail all the way to to the top of Mt Washington, but we could only stay up there about an hour or so, as the train started back down. The miners had sleds to slide back down the rails at the end of the day.

High altitude ice crystals can create a rainbow like you see around the 9:00 mark. They are less common at mid-latitudes, but once you are far enough north the low sun angle can create them!

So happy you got to visit New Hampshire. Mt. Washington is awesome. They used to have steam engines running up and down the mountain. Thanks for the video the scenery was beautiful. Stay well and be happy.

Bonjour Marie! It always makes me happy to see you enjoying your time here in the States. I hope that you are doing wonderfully! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed

Nice clear day to really appreciate the view...

That scenery is so uplifting!!!

Kansas Grandpa checking in. New Hampshire was my home for 26 years. Watching your video was like going home. I left there in 08' and when I win a lottery or get one of my books on the best seller list I may move back there. All of those places are very familiar to me. Thank you Marie.... If you need a good book to read, I have a new one coming out on Amazon in about a month. 'When All The Pieces Come Together' It is an adventure involving Caucasian and Native American neighbors in a very rural setting. It takes place in Norther Wisconsin with the Chippewa and a man named Stedman Doss. Next year's book takes place in New Hampshire 300 years ago. It will be called 'The Rumford Diaries'. Well, Marie. Enjoy your time here. Wishing for you All Good Things. Your Kansas Grandpa.

I love when people mention Mt. ANYTHING because the neighborhood I grew up in was called Wilke Heights (named after the developer) and every single street was named after a mountain. I grew up on Alps Road, my very best friend for 35 years grew up on Mt. Everest Drive, my husband grew up on Mt. Holyoke, and my grandparents lived on Mt. Marcy. He also developed the neighborhood across from our several years later, and named it Heavenly Heights. My brother lives on Galaxy Drive, my husbands best friend lives on Twinkle Avenue, my aunt lives on Venus Land, and my cousin lives on Uranus Drive lol. Such fun street names!!!

It's so cool to see someone stand in a place I've stood before. As a Vermonter, New Hampshire is a close second in beauty. *wink*

Wow those snow capped mountain tops were beautiful. That ski resort looked like so much fun. Great video Marie.😊

Grew up around there - skied Gunstock many times as a kid. Never did the cog railway or saw the Mount Washington Hotel but the vibe is one I can definitely relate to. You definitely had great weather and were able to see NH in all its glory. Definitely a special place, some amazing hiking up all those mountains in the summer as well.

Countless fond memories of time spent in New Hampshire! I live now in Massachusetts only a few miles from the New Hampshire border. I learned downhill skiing at Gunstock as a teenager, long ago! You captured the beauty of the area expertly! I'll wager this video will inspire lots of folks to visit. Well done!

Hey Choo Choo Marie 😊 🚂 🦌 A Rolling & Beautiful change of scenery , sturdy 🥾 are what's called for. A colorful steam locomotive chugging along feels exhilarating like your a kid again. " You might as well build a railway to the moon" Sylvester Marsh was told over 150 years ago , it's still thriving & worth every moment of it. Looks pretty steep ( second after Pilatus in Switzerland) how about Jacob ladder that's the most thrilling , the oldest ones must use a ton of coal & gallons of water to reach the top. The sky blue views of the peaks were Amazing & you didn't have to give up any creature comforts , yummy 🍡 🔥 treats , they also make a delicious clam chowder. There's a great observatory for learning more about the weather including a live cam. I wouldn't mind staying at the alpen glow lodge even know it's a bit pricey. I'm glad you got to be near the tip top of New England . The Omni Resort charming it stands out with its spanish renaissance style elegantly furnished where can i get one of those rugs 🐿️. I really liked how you can walk around the balcony taking in the whole landscape along with a round of 🏌️ golf too , back in 2019 everybody was surprised when a 🐻 showed up. Like all old hotels there's something ghostly going on like the princess / 314 room , what a scoop if you caught it on camera like your a Ghostbuster. Maybe you about the cogg railway documentary they show there , you can watch the preview here on KZfaq, the rest might be online. They also have a fancy gold room which is appropriate since it's where the bankers established the monetary fund. I don't know if you noticed any romantic couples , it's a popular place for having weddings. The ⛷️ resort looked packed out & a lot of fun , makes a change from being snow blind by the sun , it's a different vibe , how come you didn't 🛷 downhill , probably would've have been risky if you broke the camera , you've done it before anyway , It would be cool having a personalised snowboard. It's been wonderful seeing you so radiant & happy exploring more of America the promised land that keeps on giving. Don't ever lose that feeling now your back home again. Check out Robert Frost Poems on NH. Thanks Marie Take care & have a blessed Sunday 💛🌺✌️

Now we're talkin'. The Bienvenu sign. 47 seconds into your video and I am EXCITED. I see the Cannon cliffs and HOME!!!!! I have never ridden the Cog in the Winter, well done. Here's a video of my last ride up the Cog about 3 years ago, all the way to the summit. You got a PERFECT day for the train ride. I worked at the Mt. Washington Hotel from 1991-1994, before it was open year round and was only open from May to October. I am so glad you got to see what I consider "real" New Hampshire. You headed to the White Mountains, where I grew up.

This was very fun! At this point in my life I've seen more rainbow clouds than actual rainbows.

Coldest I've ever been was when I flew in from Torrejon Spain to Pease AFB there in New Hampshire. The night before I landed, they had an ice storm come in and leave a layer of ice everywhere. Needless to say I was not prepared for that level of cold. It had been raining when I left Spain, so all I had was my plastic Air Force issue raincoat. The plastic froze solid and didn't move.

This was like an Eastern version of your trip to Montana. Only it was cold outside, and there was snow on the ground. You really did luck out, though, with all that clear blue sky! Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day from start to finish. Bon dimanche! 🍻❄️🌞🇺🇸✈️🌎

It was great watching this. I live in New Hampshire and recognized all the places you went to. Hope you had a great time. Also, it’s rare to get a clear sky on Mount Washington.

Thanks for visiting. Not necessarily the places I would have recommended to you, but I'm glad you had a good time.

Beautiful video like winter in New Hampshire...

I have been watching you for a few months. You got into my recommendations at a transition time in my life and viewing. I found your videos as interesting as I had a German GF come visit for 3 weeks and her ideas on the US and what she experienced were different. She would have made videos just like this. I have no problem at all with your accent. I used to be on the phone internationally 3 to 4 hours a day for years. One thing I noticed is that your getting more comfortable in English, but being in the States and having to use it all day long will help that. 40 years ago in my office French was spoken all day long among 3 of the guys. I spoke little when I started, but after a few years was able to understand almost all what they were saying because a lot of the root words are similar in English, Spanish and German. I never paid attention to your lovely long hair. I am jealous, I don't have any, I am bald.

Bonjour Marie, this is a gorgeous video .I love how happy you are. I've only driven through New Hampshire on my way to Maine, so thank you for the video of places I wasn't able to see. I hope you traveled into Maine.

I used to take my family to NH every year in the summer! It's beautiful and very relaxing!

So glad to see you made it here not a lot of tourist realize how magnificent and beautiful new hampshire is you definitely have to come back in the spring or summer to take the railway all the way to the top the view is breathtaking I wish I could show you my pictures from last summer plus the mount Washington resort hotel is well known to be haunted

Hi 👋Miss Marie !!! The first time I went snowmobiling was in New Hampshire !!! Just Happy you are Having a Great Exploration 🇺🇲😁👍👍😎🌎💯🎥

The "rainbow without rain" was a sun dog. It's the same principal but created by ice crystals instead of water droplets and very high in the sky. It's not uncommon in the Winter and there would have been another one on the other side of the sun.

You were in my hometown of Gilford!! When I was young we'd go to the top of Gunstock for our last run of the day and instead of skiing back down we'd ski down the backside of the mountain to Belknap Mt. where I lived!

I'm glad you had a beautiful day to go up. Best wishes from New Hampshire!❤

YAY Marie, New Hampshire! 🥰🤗 I know I am going to love this, and I will leave you my comment tonight - Thank You for this!!! 😍🧡

I remember reading about Mt. Washington and its high winds when I was very young.

The State of my birth! I lived my first 18 years here! Glad to see you enjoying it.

Last night we got a storm. Over 20 inches of snow so those mountains look much different today

That was really cool. Glad you had such a great time. Have fun and as always stay safe.

Woah! I had no idea New Hampshire was such a mountainous place. Gorgeous scenery! And I loved the throwback to your slip back in the Alps! 😂

Wow!!! Great video!!!!! :0) 🐺

Thank you for showing NH to the world

Wow, Marie, you made to New Hampshire my parents were born and raised there. My Father in Meredith It's on the Northwest tip of Lake Winnipesaukee. My Mother in a small Village called Lochmere near Winnisquam Lake. It has 2 streets and 1 General store. My Mom went to school in the next town of Tilton. New Hampshire is my favorite state. 🚂🌄

You are a cool young woman. Keep up the excellent work with your American videos I love watching them❤

Didn’t realize they had snow capped mountains in New Hampshire. Never too old to learn. One of the parts of country I’ve never been ❤

Cog run, toasted marshmellows and I assume Hot Chocolate? Yum! No toboggan or tube run down the ski slope? Beautiful scenery. What a hotel-gorgeous! Sogland you were able to see East coast ski slopes and New England countryside. I see Colorado in your future.

Welcome to my state ❤ in the middle of a massive snow storm right now about 2 feet in less than 24 hours.

New Hampshire is a beautiful state just like Vermont.

If you get over to NorthEastern NYS You absolutely have to go to the Adirondack Museum on Blue Mountain Lake. It's a truly wonderful museum about the early life of Adirondack people there. On the way there you also should visit a very Historic French Fort. Fort Ticonderagoa. It has a pretty original French name too. Means the Chiming of Bells. It might not be open yet because of the winter thou.

The view is much, MUCH better from the top of the mountain. It was incredible to start out at the Base Station under a cloudy sky and then break through the clouds into sunshine as the train climbs the mountain.

local here, thanks for visiting.

Bienvenue au New Hampshire d'un Francophone! Tres familiare a nous qui vivre ici, mais vous avec seulement toucher notre pays. A tantot et Bonne Chance!

You were in NH? My state! Ah! If you ever come back there's a diner in Biddieford, Maine that supposedly has some of the best breakfast ever.

My sister lives about 45 minutes north of Mt. Washington with a spectacular view of the White Mountains from her back porch. I love visiting New Hampshire, except in the spring, or as the locals call it mud season.

You were right by my home hope you enjoyed my state

Ahhh your first nh sundog!!! You should've stopped at the first ski resort you showed on the drive up. If it's a weekend or so vacation week cannon has a tram you could've taken to the top. But so glad you took the day to drive up to my little corner of the world.

I hope you enjoyed my beautiful state!! ❤

I went up the Cog Railway once on the last day of the year that it went to the summit. It was in the 50s at the bottom, and at the top there was a -3 windchill. We could see a thing because the top was socked in with clouds. The wind had blown them so that everywhere there was frozen cloud on railings and the like. It looked like turkey feathers. It was so cool to see frozen cloud.

Great video! To clarify, the hotel is not at the summit of Mt. Washington.

I don’t really know too much about New Hampshire other than it’s mostly small towns and it was featured in the Adam Sandler Mr Deeds movie.

Well done and you had great weather! I've climbed the mountain few times but never via the Cog railway. Now we'll have to do it.

Don’t see too many NH travel vlogs so this is a nice change.

Europe is a beautiful place. The architecture is almost unmatched...but the US has so much natural beauty...so many different options!!!

It's so weird there wasn't much snow. There's multiple feet of snow there now. Mt Washington hotel is amazing. We go there for lunch often.

Welcome to the most windy spot in the world - the top of Mt. Washington, part of the White Mountain range. It's not as cool as Mont Blanc though. 😉

Darby Field was the first European to scale Mount Washington and my 10th great grandfather.

You came to New Hampshire?! Awee i could've given you a tour of all the hidden French places!

New Hampshire is so much nicer in the summer

New Hampshire is my home state. I am glad that you had a great time and the weather was great .I hope you can get back in the Fall and enjoy apple picking and try some apple cider doughnuts.

You were right near me when you went to Gunstock. I live in Wolfeboro a few towns over.

Very cool! I’ve hiked up Mount Washington a couple of times when I was younger, much younger. As well as a few other mountains in the presidential range. I’ve never taken the cog railroad though. Now I just drive up the auto road whenever I get up that way. I’m so glad you’re having such a good time in the US. You’ve seen quite a bit so far in your travels, but there’s still so much more to see. Enjoy, happy travels! 😊👍

That "rainbow" is actually called a Sun Dog.

The NorthEasten States are very pretty and still Wooded and Wild. What your looking at is very much like the Native Indians would have experienced and seen hundreds upon hundreds of years ago.

Wow you just managed to make me homesick I was born and raised in Lincoln NH. In my teens my Dad worked at the Mt. Washington hotel spent many weekends there ( it's haunted you know) . In my late 20's I worked at Gunstock. I currently live in Connecticut and I hate it. Worst state ever don't visit. Thanks for this video I will call my Mom today cause she is still there and you made me miss her too.

You should try to make a visit to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor in Maine. Absolutely beautiful scenery.

Welcome to my beloved home state! There may be a more beautiful place in the world...but I doubt it.

Looks like you had a good day in my home state. If you had gone today, you would have had to deal with a foot of snow falling. 😊 Glad to see you enjoyed it Marie, but you really need to come again when the fall foliage is at its peak. It is absolutely gorgeous then.

Did you notice the owl statue below the Hannaford sign?

OMG people remember that our state exists!

Nice! New Hampshire, and Vermont, are really nice, amazing places. I was up in Vermont for vacation this summer and drove to and then up Mt Washington on the Auto Road. If you ever get a chance and are there again, hopefully you can go to the top and see where the highest winds on earth were recorded.

That region got 30 plus cm of snow today. Omni Mt. Washington and Gunstock is vintage NH. I know you are long departed from this area but I hope you got to the seacoast, Portsmouth is a culinary gem and there is the nearby Wentworth by the Sea, older than the Omni place.

Aww, I missed you. Well, glad you made it anyway. Hope you had fun.

I hope you can make it up to Maine sometime. Hopefully in the summer 😊

Always wanted to go to New England.

New England is best in summer and fall.

Marie, we love winter in New England, but we need you to come back in summer.

I have lived in New Hampshire all my life and I Love it the only other New England state I love is Maine

I have been on the cog too, what a great trip and windy at the top, this in summer. Our train had the old coal fired steam locomotive.

Marie, I'm surprised that with all of your travels, this is the very first time you've ever seen a Sun Dog! That rainbow when it's not raining is what that was. They can be rainbows, they can just be yellow, or they can even be red. Look up the term "Sun Dog" on your phone and you'll see tons of pictures of them. They always form 90 degrees from the Sun. Using a clock as a reference, they form at 9, 12, and 3. I'm glad you got to see Mt. Washington, even if you only got to go up halfway. It the beginning or the end of the Appalachian Trail that hikers will hike from down in Georgia all the way to the top of that mountain. You were lucky to be there on a blue sky day! I did laugh a little bit at your karma comment and you slipping! You should have at least gone down that slope once on a tube. If the kids can do it, so can you! The resorts of that area are really nice and have been used in movies. I hope the rest of your adventure goes well, and as always, keep smiling!
