NH - Kancamagus Highway & Echo Lake

Starting early from our accommodation in North Conway and driving along Kancamagus Highway which is running through the heart of the scenic and mountainous White Mountain National Forest. When driving East to West, the highway runs along the Saco and Swift Rivers while steadily climbing up to Kancamagus Pass at 2,855-foot (870 m).

It's known for its views of autumn foliage and is a popular drive in September and October for leaf peeping tourists such as us😃

We started off with some blue sky but the higher we got, the more we got engulfed in low hanging cloud basically all the way to Franconia Notch State Park which is a few miles on the other side of the pass.

Franconia Notch State Park is a nature preserve either side of Interstate 93 as it passes through Franconia Notch, a mountain pass between the Kinsman Range and Franconia Range in the White Mountains.

I wanted to walk the Franconia Notch Path to Echo lake so that I can take some nice pictures of autumn foliage reflecting in the lake.

Well, it sort of worked.
Would have preferred blue sky instead of grey, low hanging clouds. But unfortunately, one can't book the weather 🤷Baca lagi
