The Itinerary

The White Mountains of New Hampshire offer the USA's most spectacular fall colours in September–October. Mount Washington (1,917 m) holds the record for the fastest wind ever measured at ground level: 372 km/h.

Kancamagus Highway ("The Kanc"), a 55-km scenic byway through the national forest, is one of America's finest fall drives. Sabbaday Falls, Lower Falls and Rocky Gorge. The Mt. Washington Auto Road (12 km, 1860) leads to the summit. The Cog Railway (1869, the world's oldest cog railway). North Conway for tax-free shopping.
