Autumnal colors reflecting in the Swift river (near Kancamagus highway)
in White Mountains, New Hampshire
I used to love to visit the Kancamagus highway, 11 miles of pure beauty!
Thank you Mama_Bear for teaching everyone about my neighbors!
Ahh the memories. Having been a New Englander for only 3 years or so, I am still in awe of the beauty up here. With my husband being in the National Guard in Vermont, we have often driven across the Kancamagus on our way to and from his drills. I think my favorite trip was when we packed a picnic lunch and took my mom for a drive for her birthday. She just happened to be visiting and we knew how much the fall colors were her favorite.
We are just now getting some brilliant color in southern Maine, and I miss those drives, but hopefully next fall we can once again drive across the Kanc (as the locals call it).
For anyone interested in how to pronounce Kancamagus, most of the time I hear it, it is more like Kanga-main-gus...you know how the Maine-ahs like to change vowels and connsonants around!
I will be in and out today, but wish everyone a happy hump day!
Isn't that beautiful? I came across that photo too while searching for autumn color in New Hampshire. Interesting color effect on those rocks. :-)
