Kancamagus Scenic Byway

Byway Image

Total Segments Traveled

7/9/2010 ... and picked up the Kancamagus Scenic Byway and took that back west. This climbed over the eponymous pass, and we stopped at a few pullouts for a nice view. In Lincoln, we went to Loon Mountain Resort and took the gondola to the top of the mountain. Here we enjoyed a walk around on nature trails and climbing the lookout tower for good views. We also had an early lunch here, looking out over the high mountain lake. Back down on the gondola and on the road to the end of the SB ...

4/22/2022 We continued southish, but headed east for a stretch on the Kancamagus NSB. Nothing that noteworthy here, the whole region setting a pretty high bar for scenic beauty, but Ken had scoped out a good turnaround point at the Lincoln Woods VC. Here we walked out on a wooden bridge over the rapidly running East Branch of the Pemigewasset River, with an interesting riverbed of large boulders - very pretty.
