What To Expect

White Mountains Visitor Center

Our drive down the famously scenic Kancamagus Highway begins at the White Mountain Visitor Center. Get ready to see all the best sights the majestic White Mountains have to offer, and hear about the land's history, the Native American tribes who lived here, and the legends about how this mountain range formed. We'll start by hearing about the famous Old Man of the Mountain, the story behind the highway's fabulous fall colors, and the legend of the celestial bear who created the Milky Way galaxy! Next, we'll get some tips about moose-spotting and bird-watching.

White Mountains

As we drive, we'll fill you in on how the White Mountains actually formed, and why they continue to draw over a quarter of a million visitors every single year. Would you believe this mountain range began back when dinosaurs still walked the earth?

Hancock Overlook

An optional detour will take us to Hancock Overlook, our first really excellent glimpse of the majestic mountains.

Mount Washington

Continuing along the road, we'll finally get a good look at Mount Washington, the most famous of the White Mountains and the highest peak in the entire Northeast. Here, we'll learn about the origins of the mountain's name, and how it fits into the Presidential Mountain Range. We'll also see Mount Hancock, another towering summit in that same range.

Pemigewasset Overlook

Another optional detour will take us to the Pemigewasset Overlook, which offers a stunning view of the sparkling Pemigewasset River. Here, we'll learn about the importance this lifegiving river once had to the tribes who lived here.

Sabbaday Falls

Our drive continues to the Sabbaday Falls, a series of picturesque cascades in a narrow flume. But you'll find more than just the falls enthralling here! Depending on the season, the pools below can take on a deep, enchanting emerald color.

Mount Chocorua

The next stop on our drive is Mount Chocorua, another of the White Mountains' most awe-inspiring peaks. We'll learn not just about the mountain itself, but also about the chief for whom it is named, and the mystery which surrounds him.

Albany Covered Bridge

Our penultimate stop will be at Albany Covered Bridge, a humble piece of architecture that nonetheless proved invaluable to the settlers of the 1800s. We'll learn about how such a small structure can make a huge difference in the wilderness. Next, we'll get the truth about Wigwams and the revenge-driven Saco River Curse. Then, we'll hear the unlikely feud between one of America's richest families and a bunch of beavers, as well as the story of the last member of the Pennacook tribe.

First of all, before you purchase this make sure you do it during the fall foliage because it makes it even more beautiful. My wife and I enjoyed this audio tour and stopped at every possible place along the way to see and read about the local historical site. I absolutely recommend this to everyone.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Ali! Kancamagus is beautiful, as it always is. It achieves its pinnacle in the fall when the leaves change color. I’m thrilled that my tour of the Kancamagus Scenic Byway added to your learning and that you and your wife enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.

Loved the stop at Sabbaday Falls… lovely! Also the Albany covered bridge… fantastic! Rocky Gorge was also very nice. Overall a very enjoyable drive, though the audio tour has a few hiccups that could use a fix.

Very good detail & enjoyed the history stories shared on the app tour along the way. Very easy to download the app & initiate the tour. Very happy we purchased the app. Could even include more detail on the scenic stops with a little more prior notice when they are coming up along the drive.
