The White Mountains is a beautiful area. We drove the Kancamagus Highway. We topped at the information center and were pointed to certain sights. Sabbaday Falls was beautiful.
I may be biased as a New Hampshire native, but the White Mountain National Forest is absolutely beautiful! My advise: visit in the off-season...Mud and Dead Tree (between when the trees are bare and the snow falls). It's not so crowded, and the wildlife viewing is excellent!
The Kank highway is so beautiful! Especially the gorge!!! The fall follage was at peak the first couple of days of October!!! We hit the time just right for leaf peeping!!!!
Took a couple of six miles hikes over our two days. One-easy; the other-moderate. As a couple of 50-somethings, our advice to to make sure that you have plenty of water and good equipment; including a camera, GOOD hiking shoes/socks, and a walking stick. Start early in the day to avoid the crowds and noise-makers. Booking a massage for after the hike is a capital idea as well!
We would have loved to stay and look, hike and bike around but just did not have the time. Gorgeous scenery!
Excellent guided tour to Mt. Washington Weather Observatory with EMS Climbing School in North Conway. Guides were very professional and friendly.
Many great activities possible year round. From hiking, biking, climbing and general sight seeing.
The Whites have a reputation for changing weather. Respect this area, and do lots of fun research to prepare for a safe and challenging hike.
Gorgeous vistas, well-marked scenic overlooks and pull-offs, (mostly) clean restrooms, well-kept walking/hiking paths. Forest, mountains, lakes, rocky rivers and waterfalls, cliffs and overlooks - great for hiking, sightseeing and other outdoor activities.
You can enjoy a senic ride or get out and take a hike. Go for a swim in a refreshing stream. Catch a fish. There are so many beautiful spots. I go several times during the season as I live just across the border in Maine. Fall is beautiful with all the changing leaves. I have not had my fill of it yet...I don't think I ever will!
