  • Drive on the Kancamagus in either Summer or Fall for some spetacular scenic views. The first viewing point we stopped at was to see the views of Mt. Osceola Range. Unusual formations aren't they?

    Completed in 1959, the 34-mile-long Kancamagus Highway crosses the White Mountain National Forest from the Pemigewasset River in Lincoln to Conway.
    The Kanc (as the natives call it) spans the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River and sharp curves are common as the Kanc climbs and descends the steep slopes of Mount Kancamagus.

    If you leave your parked for any lenght of time:

    You must also pay for a pass to park anywhere in the White Mt Nat'l Forest. A season pass is $20 and other shorter duration passes (such as 1 day) can be had for about $5.

    See my Travelogue for more pictures along the Kanc.

  • This is great for the families that have a few young ones to entertain. Otherwise, it might be a Tourist Trap.
