Lincoln New Hampshire Foliage on the Pemi and the Kanc.

         Unless you have traveled through Lincoln N.H.  before, these Indian names will be foreign to you:

  The Kancamagus scenic hignway connects Lincoln to Conway New Hampshire...and is 35 miles of wilderness with periodic look out points along the way. Here is one on the scenic stops where you can pull over and take a photo.

     Also running along the Kanc (as the locals call it) is the Pemigewasset River...name for the Pemigewasset Indian tribe that once inhabited the area...Here after called the "Pemi".

   Looking east on the Pemi.

  Another look out point facing west...as the sun is coming up in the east.

           One of the North facing views...with the sun behind the shot to the south the colors really glow.

          Columbus Day Weekend is always a busy time for a trip over the Kanc...but if you take your time you'll enjoy the views and you may even see a Moose in one of the many boggy wetlands areas along the way.

 The Western end of the Kanc...you'll find Loon mountain Ski Resort, very colorful in October but wait a month and all that you see will be white with snow (slope side homes).

Where the Kanc ends you can pick up the Franconia Notch state park...from Federal to state land in the same White mountain town of Lincoln (we boast 95% of the towns land area in preservation reserve).

     If you make it to the Franconia notch state park Visit the Flume gorge...All these shots were taken in Lincoln New Hampshire...do you think I get to enjoy some great views? Alpine Lakes Real Estate co inc, has on office on the Kancamagus scenic highway (rte 112) in the center of Lincoln one mile from I93 & 2 miles from Loon Mountain Ski Resort.   More about us
