Visit Berlin guideAbout Randolph
Nestled in the heart of the White Mountains, Randolph is a pristine mountain village that embodies the rugged beauty and outdoor spirit of northern New Hampshire. With just over 300 residents, this tight-knit community sits at the base of the Northern Presidential Range, offering unparalleled access to some of New England's most challenging and rewarding hiking terrain. The town's rich history dates back to the late 1700s, and its legacy as a haven for serious mountaineers and nature lovers continues today. What sets Randolph apart is its authentic mountain character—there are no commercial developments or tourist traps here, just pure wilderness access and a community that values conservation and outdoor recreation above all else. The Randolph Mountain Club, founded in 1910, maintains an extensive network of hiking trails that provide access to multiple 4,000-foot peaks, while the town's scenic back roads offer glimpses of working farms and traditional New England architecture. This is a place where you'll find more moose than traffic lights, and where the night sky still reveals the Milky Way in all its glory.
