This popular is 34.5 miles long highway is located in New Hampshire. It goes through the White…read moreMountain National Forest. The views are spectacular! There are many stops and hiking trails along the way. I've been as a teenager and again recently, always a beautiful spot to visit. We stopped at all the popular areas such as Sabbaday Falls and Lower falls to name a couple. We went late May so the black flies were rampant. There is no cell service up there. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit.

The Kancamagus Byway, one of America's most beautiful scenic byways, will give you year-round…read moreaccess to many of the sites. it is a portion of NH Route 112 spanning east to west from Lincoln to Conway. The 34.5-mile drive is considered one of the best fall foliage viewing areas in the world. A number of scenic vistas are plotted along the way offering remarkable views of the White Mountains, the Swift River, Lower Falls, Sabbaday Falls, and the Rocky Gorge. known to locals as "The Kanc", is home to an abundance of hiking trails, walking paths, picturesque ponds, natural wonders, and many other must-see stops. In Fall, the foliage along the Kancamagus Highway is simply spectacular. We started from Lincoln and passed the following (in sequence) Sugar Hill Scenic Overlook Sabbaday Falls Rocky Gorge Scenic Area Lower Falls Scenic Area Albany Covered Bridge it must be one of the 10 best scenic roads in the USA. I made almost 50-60 videos of this trip, you just can't resist it. We drove the Kancamagus Highway as part of our New England fall road trip while traveling from Franconia Notch State Park to Acadia National Park. (There are no gas stations along the way so full the tank before starting) bw the correct pronunciation is "kank-ah-MAU-gus. A trip along this National Scenic Byway is not just about the drive, it is about the journey and the places you stop along the way. A typical drive with multiple stops will take at least half a day. Fee: $ 5-day pass fee per vehicle is payable at parking areas unless you have a White Mountain National Forest annual pass, which costs $30.

I do not recommend any "Moose Tours" with Lucie. We drove 3 hours to meet her and she was an hour…read morelate to the meeting point(no cell service to contact her), completely unprepared for us as she "pulled the wrong file" "what did I tell you we were doing" We basically drove up and down route 26 for 6 hours looking for moose on the side of the highway. She stopped to asked the locals where to find moose and spoke endlessly about the types of trees in NH. No moose were spotted at all even after a desperate mosquito infested walk through the woods (yes, we had bug spray but it didn't make a difference). We were told "plan B" was to drive up and down the same highway at midnight to see if the moose were out. This was a surprise for my husbands birthday, It was a surprise for both of us! This was a complete waste of time and money.

What a great experience we had and most of all a beautiful day with a great guide! I booked a one…read moreday trip kayaking for Lisa and I and it couldn't have went any better. Lucy met us in the morning and we went straight to the river. It was such a gorgeous and enjoyable ride and she was so pleasant and relaxed the whole way through. She gave us some simple tips on kayaking and also some nice information on some of the wildlife and history of the area. When we reached Lake Ossipee the wind was very strong which made the lake very choppy and her lead was so assuring in the challenge that lay ahead of us - she was awesome and we made it to the other side of the lake without any issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend Lucy if you want to experience a great day outdoors in the White Mountains

Quite a magnificent natural wonder - highly recommend if you're visiting the area. The Madison…read moreBoulder is a ~5,000 ton glacial erratic made of granite - which makes sense since it's found in the Granite State lol. Of course, the pictures don't do it justice and you can't really fathom the size just by reading the stats alone - it's an awe inspiring sight that you have to see to believe! The boulder measures 87 feet long, 23 feet tall, and 37 feet wide. Also, the boulder is partially buried at about 10-12 feet underground! And recently scientists have been able to determine that the boulder is around 14,000 years old. Left behind all those years ago by a retreating glacier. You'll find it down a dirt road with a small, rough dirt parking lot - there are some large, deep potholes so I recommend to drive slow and careful, especially with low clearance vehicles. But it's doable. A short, very flat hike is required along a dirt road but it's well maintained and easy - about 1/2 mile one way. If you visit in fall, you'll be treated to some lovely colors along the way! I visited twice - mid to late October 2021 and early October 2023. Mid to late October had much more colors than early October but it also varies from year to year. You'll find the boulder on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest and only a few miles away from The Kanc - a famous highway in NH for the fall colors. And there are lots of other attractions in the area - lots of rivers and vistas and things like that - as well as the historic Albany Covered Bridge which is a must see (less than 10 miles away). It's free to visit and park - be aware there aren't any restrooms in the area. Google maps will take you right to it - but signal is nonexistent in the area so I recommend to download offline maps before you come. Sadly, on my last visit, someone had put graffiti in several places on the boulder- but a park ranger was there to clean it up. Hopefully they were able to get it removed. I'll never understand why people feel the need to deface natural wonders like that - breaks my heart every time.

After a short trail hike, you'll see the boulder around a bend. It is massive and interesting to…read moresee. The road getting to it is gravel and very rough but manageable.
