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. Note: This 35+mile-long tour covers the essentials of Kancamagus Scenic Byway in 2-3 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

Hancock Overlook

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

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.

This was a great addition to our drive on the Kanc! It was nice to hear the history of the region and all the points of interest we were approaching (helping us to decide whether to stop or not). It was very easy to use on the app and the GPS locator was nice - we could stop and go as we pleased and the map and narration always knew where we were! We particularly liked hearing about the native people that lived in the region and their history. I recommend this tour to enhance your experience!
