Highway 112 runs from Center Conway to North Woodstock, just south of Franconia Notch. Passing through the White Mountain National Forest, it is considered one of the most scenic highways in the U.S. and offers a number of interesting stopping off points.
We had only 4 hours to experience this amazing road so had to focus on few specific spots. Made some research online beforehand and decided on these 4 stops which did not disappoint! Started from the North Conway eastern entrance we stopped at the Saco Ranger Station and paid 5$ for a parking daily pass. (You have to pay only if you plan on stopping and parking on the way). There were also self service - pay your fee on site stations but you had to have the exact amount in cash to use them. Our Top stops were: 1. Albany Covered Bridge 2. Lower Falls Scenic Area 3. Rocky Gorge Scenic Area 4. Sabbaday Falls We were traveling on the beginning of the Foliage season and the colors and ambiance were perfect! Not much to eat on the way so it is best to make some sandwiches and stock on some snacks and water before entering. On the other side near Lincoln we had a terrific dinner at Black Mt. Burger Co – highly recommended!!!

A rock cliff that is popular with climbers.
After viewing the ledge from Echo lake we took the short drive up to the ledge. It was a beautiful clear day - views were beautiful, mountains in the distance, Echo lake from the top, rock climbers making their way up.

This hiking area is perfect for beginners to enjoy marvels of nature.
I come here when visiting the area as often as possible (over the past 40 years) and love to take visitors here. It's an easy hike, a well-maintained trail, and a beautiful waterfall. I never tire of taking pictures here. It is uphill of course and much of the path is gravel.

This private, non-profit science and educational center is a working observatory designed to measure the unique and often extreme weather conditions on Mount Washington. Through guided tours and exhibits, visitors learn more about the science of meteorology.
We drove to the observatory via the auto road. A CD is provided for both the ascent and descent which imparts information about Mount Washington, the building of the road, the structures at the top and features of the area. The road is narrow with several pull out opportunities. The views along the way and at the top of the mountain are gorgeous. Along with the observatory, there is a post office, gift shop, small cafe and museum which provides displays about the topography of the area and the research completed and ongoing at the observatory. The first structure ever built remains chained to the top the Mountain. The Tip Top House, the original hotel, is available for touring and is quite interesting when compared to today’s accommodation. The surrounding areas can be viewed from inside the glass observatory or the outdoor observation deck. It was quite windy and a little cool when we visited the first week of October. The fall foliage was just beginning and it was so beautiful. Ample photo opportunities are available.

After a short easy hike, the woods open up to a serene lake with a beach, picnic tables and grills. The Lake is surrounded by views of limestone and granite mountains. The hiking trail through the woods around the lake is flat, easy and peaceful. There are campsites along the way but we encountered very few hikers. It was a peaceful enjoyable hike.
