We'll begin in Franconia Notch State Park, where the contrast of low lying clouds over the mountains and vibrant foliage will astound you.

From there, it's an easy trip to Lincoln - and of course, you couldn't possibly take a foliage road trip in the Granite State without including the Kancamagus Highway (or Kanc). The eastern section of NH-112, this scenic highway from Lincoln to Conway winds through the White Mountains and has absolutely spectacular views, especially in the fall.

The views from the Kanc are so good that you'll find yourself pulling over constantly to take it all in.

Yes, you have to pay admission to Castle in the Clouds, but you won't regret it - the views from this magnificent estate are unbeatable.

There's nothing more New England than a covered bridge - and if it's surrounded by fall foliage all the better. The Henniker Bridge will make a perfect photo op!

One of the most-climbed mountains in the world, this hike will lead you to some incredible views, while giving you a great workout!

New Hampshire's largest lake is incredible all year round - but there's something just plain magical about seeing the leaves turn against the background of the lake.
