What does “The Whites” mean
Locals never say 'the White Mountains' — it's 'the Whites'. The state's signature range covers most of the northern third of New Hampshire and includes Mount Washington, the Presidentials and the Kancamagus. 'Going up to the Whites' covers everything from a weekend hike to a ski trip to a Saturday drive to look at moose.
