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.

There were a lot of interesting facts and places that we wouldn’t have known or seen without the audio tour.

This was a great way to tour. Stop where you want, linger if you want! No waiting on anyone else. Tour gives you lots of background stories and history. We would have missed out on some great sites, it just winging it on our own. I will definitely use this method of touring again.

And this is my kind of review :) Just kidding, but I do appreciate the kind words and am thrilled that you enjoyed the experience! The Kanc is GORGEOUS and there’s so much more to see and learn “behind the scenes” — or in this case, behind the colors. I hope you get the chance to try more of our self-guided tours in your future travels — more details at ActionTourGuide.com. Thanks again!

My wife and I were in town for the weekend and had a great time driving through. The tour shared some super interesting stories and we didn't miss any of the stops. Directions worked great - the app knew where we were the whole time. You have to download the tour ahead of time and the user interface is a bit clunky, but it was worth it and very helpful
