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

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.

This was an audio tour😊. My husband and I really enjoyed listening to the stories as we traveled the Kancamagus Highway and seeing the beautiful foliage all around. At the first stop we purchased the $5 pass which was good all day for all the stops. I would definitely recommend this trip.
