We couldn’t pass up the chance to drive the famous Kancamagus Highway to see the gorgeous colors of fall in New Hampshire. The 35-mile highway is a part of Route 112 spanning east to west from Lincoln to Conway. It goes through the heart of the White Mountains.

We were just one of the thousands of leaf peepers who descend on this highway each fall for the spectacular views. There are several scenic overlooks, lakes, streams and hikes you can enjoy to appreciate the vivid views along the way.

    Hi Lynn and Scott
    A great drive along this 35 mile highway. Another fun record of your trip. This morning I looked up your camping area and can’t get over the camping fees, very expensive. I hope they are not all like that. Looks like a good sailing area on the Provincetown harbor and the town looks quaint. And I bet the bike trails are really nice along the shorline. Luke and I saw the huge train engine last evening at Union Station, (called :Big Boy) and well named, about 60 feet long, weighs 600 tons and will pull a 5 mile long train on level ground, just amazing. Built in 1941 and used for l7 years. It consists of two engines , end to end under the same body and runs on oil instead of coal. Brendan over this morning to finish his hot rod and I helped him make a picture frame. Luke told he he thinks he has solved the toilet oder and has finally found the flange that goes between the toilet and the sewer pipe that makes a tight seal, after buying four different flanges. I complimented him on his perseverance and willingness to tackle just about anything on houses and cars, well deserved. All the news from 44th Terrace for now. Love You, Dad

    This was a favorite of mine. When we traveled it several years ago, it was beautiful, but in the summer. I love that you were able to see it with fall colors – it is spectacular!
