Welcome

firefighters prepare by taking work capacity test and deploying emergency shelters.

A sure sign of Spring. Wildland firefighters from the White Mountain National Forest and other agencies take their annual work capacity test, carrying 45 pounds of equipment for three miles in a maximum of 45 minutes, then practicing deploying the emergency shelter. WMNF photos by Richard Dow..


This is a special and wonderful place to visit throughout the year. There are campgrounds, hiking trails, scenic drives, historic places, and plenty of space to just sit back and relax. Whether you stay for a while or just pass through, we hope you will enjoy your National Forest and all it has to offer.
