A flowing forest drive through New Hampshire's White Mountains.
NH 112, the Kancamagus, runs through the heart of the White Mountains between Lincoln and Conway, crossing its namesake pass with sweeping forest views, river overlooks and waterfalls, a celebrated drive when the autumn colour turns. Mind the moose at dawn and dusk, the leaf-season traffic, and ice in the colder months.
