Kancamagus Highway, New Hampshire

Locals call this highway “The Kanc.” It is a beloved scenic route through the White Mountains, and the fall colors are stunning. I mainly want to share the photos. The Forest Service wanted to charge people for everything — even hiking or just parking next to the river for a minute. Where I come from we don’t pay to use our own public forest land, and I refused to pay here. For my trip to the river I parked across the highway outside the gate of a closed forest road, then hiked down and across the highway to the river. Although this was free it was still technically against the rules because there was a prohibition on blocking the closed gate. If the road’s closed anyway what difference does it make? I thought it would be fine since it was after the end of the federal employees’ working day. This was pre-gov’t shutdown, of course.
a river runs through (a movie) with a mountain backdrop and the natural color of trees. nature at its best. wow, really love it.
Thanks, boholanoko. Glad you like the photos.
Looks like a beautiful area and I agree with the sign.
