The White Mountains in New Hampshire consistently rank as one of the top destinations for fall foliage, and it’s easy to see why. The 800,000-acre forest comes alive each autumn with a stunning array of colors, from vibrant reds and oranges to golden yellows. Visitors can take in these breathtaking views along the famous Kancamagus Highway, a 34-mile scenic byway cutting through the heart of the White Mountain National Forest. Whether you’re hiking, driving, or simply relaxing, the mountains provide a perfect backdrop for autumn’s natural spectacle.

But don’t just take our word for it, in a poll by USA Today readers, the White Mountains were recently recognized as a 10Best destination to see fall colors!

Whatever it is, fall is just better here.
