If you’re looking for a spot in New Hampshire that offers views miles out, you need to head on out to the Kancamagus Highway.
This 34.5-mile highway is known as the best fall foliage highway in the state, thereby earning the designation of an American Scenic Byway. But the best part of this drive is that it’s gorgeous all year long!
This area is a short drive from Lincoln, and the views along the way are just as pretty as the overlook.
The road that it sits on is one of the oldest and most beloved roads in New Hampshire. It opened in the summer of 1959, and links Conway to Lincoln. The highway offered a chance to showcase the panoramic views that up until this time had only been seen by loggers and park rangers.
There are stunning views all along the highway and the Kancamagus River.
But one stop exceeds them all: the Pemigewasset Overlook. Gazing out over Osceola Mountains, this overlook offers a firsthand glimpse into the beauty of the area.
There’s a pavilion to rest in once you get to the overlook.
It highlights some of the best views, and provides shade and cover for hot, sunny, or rainy days. There’s also seating along the benches inside.
This extraordinary area offers so much to view, all year long.
Even the colder months offers show-stopping beauty. The mountains covered with snow, and the trees crusted with white, give a peek into the beauty that winter offers.
Sunrise or sunset, this overlook offers a changing tableau of beautiful colors all day long.
Bring a picnic and enjoy the view! This is a great spot to unwind and take a break from driving, or spend some time after visiting the river.
The next time you’re in the White Mountains, you have to take this drive.
Pull off at this amazing overlook, and take in the amazing sights that the White Mountain National Forest offers you. Bring your family and friends, and soak in the amazing sights!
