Where To See The Most Glorious Lupine Blooms in New Hampshire

New Hampshire is known as the lupine capital and for good reason. So, if you are in search of that exceptional bloom, Sugar Hill is the spot to be.

Sunset Hill Road is also a must-visit and they are protected by the Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust! You’ll get incredible views of the Presidential Range and you’ll know exactly when you arrive because of all the cars and fellow flower peepers.

Another spot to take in the fields of lupine is St. Matthew’s Chapel on Route 117.

As per the article, they are typically peaking in early to mid-June, but get this. There is this adorable Country Store called Harman’s Cheese that keeps a real-time lupine tracker that they post in the store and online!

I recently learned of lupines while visiting Bailey’s Island in Maine and I was awe-struck by their stunning color and beauty.
