13. Pinkham Notch
En route to Pinkham Notch, the highway climbs to the scenic area that gives you spectacular views of Mount Washington and breathtaking fall colors.
If you enjoy an easy hike, you can meander through the forest following the 0.4-mile out-and-back Glen Ellis Falls Trail, which leads to an 80-foot waterfall crashing into the Ellis River.
