This scenic overlook was in the White Mountains National Forest, on the Kancamagus Scenic Byway (NH 112), a short drive from Lincoln. Designated parking required proof of having paid a day use fee. Engaging displays interpreted local history and ecology; I only wished they’d been in better condition. Clean rest facilities were onsite. For mountain scenery, with views to the west and the south, there may be no better stop on the Byway.

We decided to take a hike along the Pemigewasset river to see the Basin. There were many visitors along the snowy trail but we could fine our way. The river was mostly frozen over which gave the landscape an amazing view. When we approached the Basin we could see many ice sickles around the Basin. It was very pretty. Nice place to see this time of year as well as in the summer which we have been there also.

We were staying in the area to visit the ice castles and despite it being ski season, there isn't a lot open for non-skiers to do. I had read about the Betty & Barney Hill Mural tribute to their first reported alien abduction in 1961 on the app Roadside America (which gives you offbeat & odd roadside attractions where you are), so we went looking for it. We got a kick out of seeing the mural and reading all the old newspaper articles that are in the the gas station! You can also commemorate your visit with the purchase of an alien tee shirt. While we did enjoy the trip due to the lack of things open in the winter season, I suspect the busy summer/fall season there would be much more worthwhile things to do, so I wouldn't recommend making a special trip during those seasons. But if you are looking for something, it's definitely odd!!

Ice Castles is an awe-inspiring, must-see winter phenomenon that brings fairytales to life. The frozen attraction is located in six cities across North America. Ice Castles is built entirely by hand using hundreds of thousands of icicles hand-placed by professional ice artists. The castles include breathtaking LED-lit sculptures, frozen thrones, ice-carved tunnels, slides, and fountains.

We went to see the ice castles and they were pretty amazing. We went the extra mile and enjoyed a horse drawn sleigh ride through the woods. It was really cool to see the size of this ice castle and the work that goes into it. We had a great night walking through.
