The Mount Washington
Auto Road is definitely at the top of our list! This 8-mile drive up to the
highest point in New England will get your blood pumping as you ascend the
6,288' tall mountain in the comfort of your car. Be sure to have a back-up plan
in the event of bad weather at the top of the mountain. Bring your camera!
No New Hampshire vacation is complete without a ride up the Mt. Washington Auto
Road! For more information, see our Mt. Washington Auto
Road Information.

Kancamagus
Highway
Take a drive on the
scenic Kancamagus Highway! The Kancamagus Highway is a 34 mile road right
through the 800,000 acre White Mountain National Forest. There are spectacular
views along the Kanc which includes rest areas, hiking trails, waterfalls and
the 3,000 foot high Mt. Kancamagus. This stretch of scenic highway is a great
place to view the fall foliage. The Kancamagus Highway is a lot busier
during Fall Foliage season, so be sure to plan accordingly. Check out Information
About The Kancamagus Highway. Falls that can be checked out here are Sabbaday
Falls and Rocky Gorge.
The Flume, located in
Franconia Notch NH is a great way to cool off on a hot day. Either way you
chose to spend your time here, the views of the Flume from the walking path are
unlike any other place on Earth. The Flume offers a clear mountain stream,
pools and beautiful NH waterfalls all courtesy of an ancient glacier.
Best
Time to Go
Check the fall foliage
map before deciding on dates. Based on past experience the best time might be
between first and second week of Oct.
Other
Tips
- There are train rides
other than the one that goes to Mt. Washington to see fall foliage in around white
mountains; worth exploring
