- Kancamagus Hwy Fall Foliage colors - In White Mountains Between Conway and Lincoln, NH --(often misspelled and mis-pronounced with an extra "g" & "n" as Kangamangus Highway or Kangumangus Hiway.)
Scenic 35 mile drive across the Kancamagus Highway (#112) mountain road between Conway and Lincoln NH in the White Mountain National Forest. We have always seen spectacular New England Fall Foliage colors on this Fall road trip! Much of the drive follows the Swift River Valley and then over the 2,860 foot Kancamagus Pass. There are many scenic overlooks, picnic areas, and campgrounds. The Lincoln Woods Visitor Center is about 5 miles east of Lincoln and has much helpful Info on the area.
This Fall Foliage New Hampshire Attraction is worth driving twice - one way near the beginning of your New Hampshire Fall Foliage Vacation, and once the other way toward the end of your NH Fall Vacation visit to see the Mountain Fall Foliage Color changes since your first trip.
