Hey! I'm a freelance writer and guidebook author. I've authored "New Hampshire's 52 With A View - A Hiker's Guide", serve as editor of Appalachian Mountain Club's "Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide", and and am co-editor of the "White Mountain Guide", also for AMC. I'm currently beginning work on the 6th Edition of AMC's Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide, which will be published in 2025. I live in southern New Hampshire and can usually be found wandering throughout the state's mountains and forests.
When you think of a scenic drive in New Hampshire, images of expansive landscapes and towering mountain ranges might come to mind. But there is much to see in the Granite State that is tucked away on local roads within small towns. One NH scenic drive through five of these towns harkens back to when the main mode of transport was by horse and carriage.
This NH scenic drive may be a departure from the mountains and landscapes of the state, but it’s no less interesting in terms of history. For more information and a map of the route, visit the Robert Frost/Old Stagecoach Scenic Byway website.
