Here are some points of interest highlighted on a map of the Kancamagus Highway found in the White Mountains Travel Guide (see references link below to get your free copy). Some are accessible directly from the highway, while others require a short walk. Some of these stops may require that you have a parking pass, which can be purchased from Ranger Stations or area businesses for a nominal fee.

2) Lower Falls
