Leaf Peeping Pictures

We went up route 93 to route 3 to the Kancamagus Highway. We crossed from one end to the other, stopping a couple of times at scenic view spots. The weather wasn't cooperating. We had rain and even some early October snow. It was also really cold. When we reached Conway we went to Cathedral Ledge and were completely blown away. The best pictures come from there. We then worked our way back South again and stopped at the Indian Head Resort for lunch and a view of the Indian Head.

Prepare to be bombarded with pictures... here they come!

The first batch come from various stops along the Kanc. Some of these were the same places we stopped at last year. Some others are from a visitors center in Conway, NH.

The sky tried to clear up a few times, but it never lasted long.

Now we come to Cathedral Ledge. There is a road to the top that was narrow and busy with cars parked all over the place. Lots of stupid people decided to visit the site that day and they annoyed us greatly, but the view made up for it.

There were a few groups of sanity-challenged climbers on a couple of the cliff faces.

That's all I am going to post today. Go to the flickr page to see a few more. I had a great time on this day trip. We went over 300 miles and it took the entire day, but we got to see some spectacular sites. Even better, we got to spend the day together as a family. It was great.
