Howdy Forum Friends!
I’m here on vacation from to see the folks and do a little leaf peeping. Unfortunately, I’m solo at the moment, but my wife will be here Thursday! She has never seen fall in New Hampshire and I really want to WOW her (we’ve been married 1.5 years, together about 7 total and all she’s heard about is how incredible the NH fall is; she’s been here several times, but either for summer or Christmas).
Considering the lake is surprisingly green (I’d say 50/50), I was thinking of taking her up along the Kancamagus. I’m in Meredith and would like some advice:
- Is the Kancamagus past peak already? Would it be best to stay on 93 and go north just a little ways for picnic lunch, say to Franconia Notch or Lincoln? As for overlooks etc, am I better on 93 or DWHW(3) heading north?
If anyone can give me a tip for a scenic foliage drive from Meredith (say a round trip in 4 hours +/-), PLEASE chime in! I’m hoping with the overcast skies and cool temps the last few days the lake will come around in time – and we don’t leave until Monday the 22nd.
BTW: my first stop when I got in: Waldo Peppers...mmmmmmm 
Thanks everyone!
Update: Forgot to mention the water is low indeed, although compared to last year I bet it's a relief for most of you!
