New Hampshire is one of the best places to travel in Fall. Especially from the mid of September through the end of the month, when fall has just crossed it’s peak & is preparing for the long snowy winter.

Unless you have something in your mind, you should start off at the New Hampshire Visitor Information website.

The best short trip we made in late fall was to Franconia Notch & the Kancamagus Byway. It is one of the national scenic byways in New Hampshire. It winds between the White Mountains & covers a total of about 112 miles of drive.

The Franconia Notch is at one end of the highway & borders on the Flume gorge & a magnificent dutch settlement. They also run small one house bed & breakfast motels about a mile from the notch.

If you are traveling in late fall, be sure to carry protection for your cameras & a poncho. It rains frequently & often the fog gets too thick. A tripod is also essential for shooting the numerous waterfalls along the drive. The Arethusa Falls is one of the most magnificent falls on the drive. The Bemis Brook drops over 140 feet. The 1.5 miles hike to the foot of the falls from the main road could be strenuous, especially if it is raining.

Ideally, you could spend the first day relaxing in the Flume Gorge & the Canon Mountains. Spend the evening in one of the cozy local restaurants. The next 2 days you could spend along the various scenic spots on the Kancamagus highway.
