White Mountain National Forest

Beautiful! Drove up from Boston with my cousin for a day trip. Just stunning and beautiful. Amazing to get close to raw nature and way from skyscrapers and man made structures. The foliage was bright and colorful. The sun was out and was breezy. Perfect weather for a perfect day!

Most beautiful place to go during fall season.
It has spectacular views on this Lincoln — Kancagamus highway stretch. You can stop and get out off your car anywhere on the way to click photos and enjoy scenes.
There are resorts on the way and lots of hiking trails.
This stretch doesn’t have any gas station in till you reach end of this till north Conway.

Wow. Did the Presi Traverse a few weeks back. I’m still thinking about it. Trails are magnificent: well-​maintained, extremely challenging. Every vista is worth it. Can’t wait to go back.

These are my home mountains, every summer in NH, we would go hiking or see attractions. Pick a trail for your level and enjoy. Plenty of waterfalls and other things to be had on short hikes. Or bag one of the presidents. Mount Washington has the highest recorded wind speeds in North America hold on to your hat. For those less rugged you can take the train or drive your car up to the top.
Bring bug repellent/​sun screen and do Tick checks. NH is #1 in Lymes disease. Don’t let it ruin your fun, just be cautious. You can access the Appalachian trail form some trail heads.

Simply the handiwork of God up close and personal. Very windy, but it’s worth the sight!

To quote a traditional song, «I love the mountains!» If you know it, sing along…
Visiting the Kancamagus, the notches, the hiking trails, fall color, love love love. So transcendental.

World-​class hiking. Over 300 waterfalls, 1500 miles of trails, some of the finest swimming holes in the country, excellent ski resorts, dozens of campgrounds and lodges, and beautiful scenic drives.
We spend at least 3 weeks a year up here. Takes five lifetimes to see it all.

Amazing number of trails and waterfalls. Great views. I love the White Mountains

Fall colors haiku:
«Kank» does not reflect
exquisite beauty throughout
leaves change, as things do
With sweeping vistas and cozy deciduous forests, the Kancamagus highway is not to be missed for viewing of fall colors. This is a winding, rolling 34 mile drive through the White Mountain National Forest, with plenty of turnouts for picnicking, animal-​viewing, hiking, lake-​gazing and kicking up leaves.
Yup, this is just what I came for.
(Don’t be turned off by the nickname, «The Kank.»)

I had recently had a vacation and decided to go for a drive through the park. It was gorgeous. The foliage had started changing and the trees were beautiful. I saw wild turkeys and other native animals. The waterfall was very beautiful too. I would definitely recommend a drive through the area. There are plenty of areas to pull over and walk around as well.

One of my most favorite places to be in the world. WMNF is home to some of the most beautiful scenery and landscapes in New England, mostly because of the vantage view, but also because the area is so well protected.
Some unique features include Mt. Washington (Highest peak north of the Smokey Mountains and east of the Mississippi), Tuckerman Ravine, and the Kancamagus Byway. This is a really popular road in the fall for its prime foliage viewing.
Make sure you check with the Smokey the Bear cutouts for the fire danger level before you go in and take out all your trash with you. There are a ton of different mountains in this area that are great to climb and provide some really awesome views from the top.
