Canyon hiking is not exactly a common form of hiking. Very few locations in New England offer the opportunity to hike, rock climb, and swim through canyons. Sculptured Rocks in Groton New Hampshire, provides a unique canyon and rock formation that allows hikers to experience one of nature's most fascinating areas. Sculptured Rocks Natural Area spans 272 acres through New Hampshire.
I have been to this area once a few years ago. We drove to this location for the purpose of taking pictures for my cousin's photography class but found much more than just pictures. We were able to swim through the river that ran between the canyons and climb the rock formations that surrounded us. In the top picture, I am jumping off one of the high canyons into the river below. The river was unique in the way that it was very deep and wide among certain areas, which made it safe to jump from. The second picture is taken of us from the top of the canyon where we jumped from.
This location in particular I would highly recommend to anyone interested in hiking, swimming, and rock climbing. Personally I would love to go back and explore the unique rock formations again. Jumping from the canyon was a thrill that you need to feel to believe. If jumping from high canyons is not your thing, then I would still most definitely recommend visiting the park to hike the rocks and watch the river.
