The Gem Hunt
America decides what makes the map.
Every state has a spot the algorithms miss — the one locals send strangers to. Name it. Vote on the finalists. The winners get built into Roamward, the scenic road-trip app that proves you actually went. No download required to play.

New Hampshire gems, most-loved first
- 1ChuttersHome of the world's longest candy counter, a Guinness-certified 112-foot run of 600-plus jars on Main Street in Littleton, in the western White Mountains — an easy, sweet detour.
- 2Redstone RocketA real decommissioned Redstone missile standing in the town square of tiny Warren, honoring nearby-born astronaut Alan Shepard — pull right up any time and visit the little museum steps away.
- 3Lost River Gorge and Boulder CavesA mile of mossy boardwalk threading through eleven glacial boulder caves and hidden waterfalls in Kinsman Notch near North Woodstock, with a tight final cave squeeze for the brave.
- 4Castle in the CloudsThe 1913 Lucknow Mansion perched on a 6,300-acre estate above Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonborough, with some of the best views in the Lakes Region and trails all around.
- 5Madison Boulder Natural AreaThe largest known glacial erratic in North America, a 5,000-ton granite slab dropped by the ice age in a quiet wood near Madison — a short, free, easy walk-up off the beaten path.
- 6America's StonehengeA 30-acre maze of stone chambers and astronomically aligned slabs in North Salem, where solstice sunrises still line up with the rocks and an alpaca farm shares the trails — off I-93 in the southeast.
- 7Fourth Connecticut LakeTucked on the Canadian border above Pittsburg, a tiny 2.5-acre glacial tarn is the exact trickle where the 410-mile Connecticut River is born, reached by a steep loop along the boundary swath.
- 8Diana's BathsA short, stroller-friendly half-mile through the woods near North Conway delivers you to a staircase of cascades and smooth granite pools made for wading — an easy White Mountains swimming hole.
- 9Polar Caves ParkAt the foot of the White Mountains in Rumney, boardwalks thread between nine granite caves left by the glaciers, cool and mossy even in July — a fun, slightly hokey ice-age detour off Route 25.
- 10Andres Institute of ArtNew England's largest outdoor sculpture park hides on a wooded hillside in tiny Brookline, where 100-plus sculptures line ten miles of free trails — a peaceful art-meets-hiking ramble.
