Itinerary

Stop 1

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route to match your interests and schedule.

Stop 2

New England is famous for its covered wooden bridges, and the Albany Covered Bridge is one of the most photographed in New Hampshire. Originally built in 1858, this 120-foot-long covered bridge spans the Swift River and is still open to vehicles as long as they don’t exceed a height of 7’9”. Together with the Russell-Colbath House, these structures are the only preserved remains from the era when farming was first established in the region.

Stop 3

Lincoln Woods provides access to several trails that head deep into the Pemigewasset Wilderness, 45,000 acres of strictly protected woodland and one of 6 wilderness zones within the White Mountains Forest.

Stop 4

At Lower Falls, the Swift River cascades over smooth granite rocks into welcoming pools. It’s an ideal place to sunbathe and swim on warm summer days.

Stop 5

Carved by ancient glaciers, Rocky Gorge is a narrow gorge with powerful water rushing through it. The gorge is just a quick jaunt from the parking area, and a foot bridge takes you across the Swift River where you can stand directly above the gorge for excellent viewing and photo opportunities.

Stop 6

Sabbaday Falls is the most popular hike along the Kancamagus Highway. This multi-tiered waterfall spills through a narrow gorge into emerald-colored pools. It’s a very picturesque spot, and well worth the 15-minute hike to the falls.
