Day 46

Hanover to North Conway

Sunday, September 27, 2026

Today you can almost taste the end of your long and rewarding journey, but it's not over quite yet! There's one more stunning scenic byway calling your name as you traverse the White Mountains. There are three tough climbs to conquer before you enjoy a triumphant lunch at the top of Kancamagus Pass (affectionately known by the locals as "The Kanc"). You will see why many people come here to witness some of the best fall foliage in the country. And better yet, after lunch, you get to enjoy a 25-mile descent. You have definitely earned it! If you have a sweet tooth don't miss the delicious treats waiting on the other side of the mountains at the White Mountain Cupcakery in North Conway.
