“The Cockermouth River carved a narrow canyon in bedrock on its way to Newfound Lake, beginning as the last ice age drew to a close. Nature used grains of sand suspended in the current to carve the walls of the canyon into curious shapes and create potholes in the bedrock,” the New Hampshire State Parks’s website said.

Patch Orchards

Enjoy some apple picking while taking in the fall foliage. The farm has beautiful views of the mountains and some colorful trees on the property. Learn more about the orchards here.

Stop by Vermont's deepest gorge at Quiche Gorge and it's surrounding 612-acre Quechee Gorge State Park. The hike to the gorge takes about 33 minutes for most hikers and is about 1.3 miles. Learn more about the gorge here.

According to visitwhitemountains.com, for a classic fall foliage drive, "travel the Kancamagus Highway between Lincoln and Conway. Stop at designated overlooks and recreation areas along the way, then continue into the Mount Washington Valley or return to Lincoln-Woodstock," the website said.
