We just came back from N. Conway 2 weeks ago. We traveled the famous Kancamagus Highway-a beautiful site seeing experience. Also we kept traveling to Loon Mountain and took the tram rail which brings you 3,000 feet up w/trails and outlooks. You can get many nice photos here. Then we proceded to The Flume Gorge-alot of walking trails and waterfall... more

We drove the length of the Kancamagus Highway as part of the round trip White Mountains trail that also takes in Crawford Notch and Franconia Notch and this was one of the highlights of the trip. Having spent the previous day hiking in Franconia Notch, we wanted an easy day and this trip fitted the bill well since it is... more

I got back from North Conway just a few weeks ago, and one of the activities we planned to do required us to take the Kancamagus Highway, or as the locals call it "The Kanc". I never really thought that driving on a highway could be so enjoyable until I rode on the Kanc. We spent about 2 hours round... more

Great place to hike, bike, take a car ride or a motorcycle ride. Usually closed in the winter months due to being unpassable. Great views abound! more

We visited in October this area and among others drove the scenic highway and did some hike trails. We had a good hike and great views at both little summits on the trail which starts at the Albany Covered Bridge, so I would strongly recommend this one. Have fun. more

We just returned from a trip that included exploring the Kancamagus on Sept 27th. The foliage was fabulous and the various waterfalls, rivers, views of mountains and foliage were unbelievable. I'd recommend stopping at the visitor center in Lincoln, NH (right off highway exit) or the one at the other end of the road near Conway, NH (Saco River Ranger... more

This is a breathtaking stretch of highway. Driving straight through would only take about 40 minutes, but there are plenty of places to pull over and take photos, including a covered bridge. If you are in the area, you owe it to yourself to drive this scenic highway. more

After Route 1 in California, this is the most beautiful road I have ever seen. Stop by North Conway if you plan on shopping. The city has a good outlet center and no sales tax! more

If you're going to go to North Conway, you must make it a point to take a drive on the Kancamgus Highway... the road winds westward from North Conway up through the mountains for a nearly 30 mile long scenery bonanza. There are stops along the way to enjoy the breathtaking views. At the start of the highway, there's a... more
