Kancamagus Highway Route Pack | New England Fall Foliage

The Kancamagus Highway. 'the Kanc' to locals. is a 34-mile stretch of NH Route 112 that crosses the White Mountain National Forest between Lincoln and Conway. It is widely regarded as the finest fall foliage drive in New England, and during peak color in early October, the display is nothing short of extraordinary.

Unlike many scenic roads, the Kancamagus has no commercial development along its entire length. no gas stations, no restaurants, no hotels. It is pure, uninterrupted mountain wilderness. The road climbs to 2,855 feet at Kancamagus Pass, winding through dense hardwood forests that transform into a cathedral of color each autumn.

This route pack extends the experience beyond the Kanc itself, incorporating the covered bridges of the Swift River valley, the charming town of North Conway, the cog railway up Mount Washington, and the grand hotels of Bretton Woods. It is the quintessential New England road trip. maple syrup, covered bridges, mountain vistas, and the kind of fall color that has inspired artists for centuries.
