5 Amazing Places to See Fall Colors in New Hampshire
The place to see the glory of the White Mountains in the fall.
The Kancamagus Highway
"This is one of the most popular spots to view the changing colors for good reason. Not only is the drive itself jaw-dropping, but there are also several spots to pull off along the scenic byway in case you want to take some photos or walk between the trees." Sarah Lamagna
See New Hampshire’s fall foliage reflect on a bright blue lake.
Lake Winnipesaukee

Mount Washington
"Mount Washington stands at 6,288 feet above sea level and is the tallest mountain in the northeast. On a clear day, the view from the top seems endless and is especially stunning in autumn. But the tricky part is actually finding a clear day." Sarah Lamagna
Head up to the Great North Woods if you want the best chance at seeing some wildlife while also avoiding the crowds.
Moose Alley
"The route along Moose Alley starts in Gorham on Route 16 and heads north towards Errol. Throughout the route, you’ll pass through several state parks, a scenic area, and a national wildlife refuge." Sarah Lamagna

Cannon Mountain
