There are so many amazing roads in new england it can be tough to get them all! I'm open to any ideas!

Okay!

  • ME 17 in Maine especially the "Height of Land". Possibly the prettiest place on earth in peak foliage? I only slightly exaggerate.

  • Route 26 from Newry Me into Vt. Just terrain that doesn't really exist anywhere else in New England. I like going west, it's a bit more dramatic.

  • VT 5A. More terrain that is fairly unique for this area. Lake Willoughby is so pretty.

  • VT 102. I prefer it to the NH side of the river. It's much more scenic.

  • NH 115A. Short, but has the best view of the presidentials. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a side trip.

  • NH 16. You probably have driven by Mt Washington, but this road is still incredible north of Berlin the whole way to Eustis.

  • VT 9. I really love this area. It feels like you're surrounded by history, if that makes sense.

Thank you for all these! I will definitely look into cruising down some of these routes.

I do have the kancamangus highway and a lot of the white mountain highway area of NH16 that I haven't uploaded yet but I have not gone as far north as you suggest I'll have to check it out, as I love that area.

These are the legit options. I drove 102 for the first time last month and was impressed! I want to drive Rte 26 this summer and VT 9 is also another gorgeous mountainous drive
