Let me clarify. I'm taking my OWB holster and will use that while on the trails. But for walking around the hotel lobby, restaurant, parking lot at the top of Mt. Washington, etc etc I would rather not have the gun exposed--just my preference. That's why I was asking about how NH defines "unloaded." As I suspected, it's not clear. So I'll go prepared for OC or CC and make up my mind when I get there.
Thanks to those of you who offered useful information and advice.
Not that it's relevant to my question Jose, but I grew up with guns, had weapons training in the military, three NRA classes in the past year and planning a fourth this fall, and usually get to the range at least once a month. I probably don't meet your minimum proficiency requirement, but I'm satisfied with my progress and am trying to get better. I'm familiar with guns; it's the carrying in public part that's somewhat new to me.

You need to stop carrying a gun then. You've already defeated yourself.
Why are you even carrying a pistol in MA? How much training time have you put into mastering a handgun?
My guess is nowhere near enough.
