Hancock Notch Trailhead

Great spot to pull over and rest right before/after the hairpin curve in the road. Sometimes gets busy around Laconia Bike week and 4th of July, but off season is just as gorgeous and chances are you'll get the place to yourself.

The kangamangus has got to be my favorite drive, I drive two and a half hours just to take a drive down it because the views are absolutely impeccable. It is even better in the fall when the leaves are changing colors. There is plenty of places to stop and take pictures

Love the views! Nice place for a short walking..

Nicely plowed out. Plenty of room to park and hike or just get a short of the whites

Beautiful scenery no matter what time of year.

Beautiful hike with gorgeous lookout!

Such a fun loop

October 5th The colors were magnificent.

Gorgeous view! A little tricky crossing the road with snowshoes!

Great hike, more difficult than I expected, but really worth it.

In the accompanying photo below, an aerial view is provided of the hairpin turn on New Hampshire’s Kancamagus Highway (New Hampshire Route-112) along which Hancock Notch Trailhead rests. The colors of the leaves on the surrounding trees in the photo create something of an autumnal rainbow. The beauty of this particular spot has always struck me in an area filled with breathtakingly scenic views. I frequently fly a drone of mine above the trailhead to take in, and on occasion, capture through photograph the contrast between the curve of the road and the cars moving upon it.

This was one of the only open parking spots open due to snow. Always gorgeous views. ❤

This is an awesome trail, I had a lot of fun! Unfortunately there is not a lot of space to park but, come on, it has to be done.

Very dangerous roadway. Drivers ignore speed limit and race through the mountain passes. The road crossing is on a hairpin turn. Cross at your own risk.

Beautiful place to start the day

Beautiful views can be had from this way side ... Because of its popularity, and some days it tends to fill up quick.

Great place to see the mountains and views.

Beautiful and stunning scenery it takes your breath away

Beautiful place, going to return to hike the trails

Stunning place to stop and admire the beauty of the trees in fall
