plenty of access to trails and waterfalls as well as what you see right from the road. Bear Mountain road is a great side trip if you are on a motorcycle.

Beautiful, long winding road up and through the mountains. There are lots of places where you can pull over and view the mountaintop scenery - many of these pull-offs have a covered viewing area with educational materials. Also, there are many trails along the way with varying lengths/difficulties. Really fun thing to do is to stop in Lincoln at Abbey... More

We drove from North Conway over the highway, the day was clear and at the summit (2800 feet) look- out the views were awesome.

We love to go here every time we are in the N.Conway area. The river running along side the road, over the rocks is Breath Taking. The Mountains all around you is unbelievable. Don't Miss this One.

Loved driving through seeing the multi-shades of green as the Spring started. Bathrooms were boarded up in early May. No gas for 30+ mile - gas up before!

This is a nice long drive with places to stop with great views. I have gone in the past during snow season and I must say it was scary driving just because of coming down the hills
