Vast alpine peaks, glacier-carved valleys, waterfalls and iconic Kancamagus Highway vistas — ideal for dramatic landscape and fall foliage photography. Best at golden hours and peak foliage (late Sep–mid Oct). Many trailheads have parking; some summits and roads close in winter. Expect crowds on weekends in autumn; weekdays and dawn offer solitude. No general entry fee; follow trail etiquette and local parking rules.
