NEW HAMPSHIRE: Exploring Franconia Notch, The Flume, North Conway, & Kancamagus Hwy!

[@donhathaway3234]

I’m 71 and lived in NH my whole life. Watching you two brings back some great memories of growing up here and discovering the mountains. First with my parents, siblings and relatives (my maternal grandfather had a camp in Woodstock) and later on exploring with girlfriends and skipping school. Years later, introducing our children to the White Mountains and then the grandchildren. Soon the great grandchildren will be able to enjoy. It’s been a terrific life! Thanks for reminding me!

[@thehappylife4471]

Wow! This was a beautiful trip guys! I’ve definitely got to take the family to visit The Flume! It’s looks amazing and all of the beautiful vibrant colors, wow! Fall is my favorite time of year! You guys always do so good with your video editing! I definitely am taking lessons from your style of editing. Nicely done! New subscriber here! 😊🎉❤

[@JamesandMeg]

You definitely should visit The Flume! It is breathtaking in fall! Fall is our favorite also! You can't go wrong with a trip to New England in fall! Thanks again for watching! 🧡

[@rothiemurchus1]

Thanks for all the awesome info guys! We’re visiting New Hampshire in a few weeks, all the way from Scotland 👍😎

[@danasparkles8942]

This is literally the most beautiful and wholesome video! 🥰💕 I'm from the UK and its an absolute dream of mine to one day come over and visit New England during the autumn when it looks so pretty with all the orangey-red coloured leaves and trying out all of their maple and apple flavoured goodies! 🍃🍂🍁🌳 I also loved you're video in Vermont too! You guys seem so sweet and I'm really enjoying watching your adventures!! 🚗🛣🏞😍🙌

[@cjortiz7917]

Thanks for showing NH…it’s beautiful

[@JamesandMeg]

Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@AmericaBound]

Thanks for the beautiful video of New Hampshire. I was born here and lived my whole life. You should also visit other parts of our state like Portsmouth or Hampton beach. MT Chocorua is also very beautiful and then there's lake Winnipesaukee. Next time bring your skis. Shout out from Goffstown, NH...

[@Meris_life]

You guys are making wish to go back to New England. Raised there and used to go up to all those wonderful places. HAPPY B-late BIRTHDAY JAMES. Thanks for Sharing❤

[@new_england_times553]

First time watching one of you vids.....you two remind me of the Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri SNL skit "Morning Latte". I have to ask, did you two go over the bridge at Rocky Gorger and check out Falls Pond? Beautiful view and most people don't realize if they walk an extra 10 minutes after the bridge they get that view.

[@williamcahill2462]

Kang Ga Mang Gus Long a, short a, long a, accentuate the capital Gs. I've seen 5 of your New England videos thus far, and must say you're doing pretty well with the local names for a visitor. Happy your enjoying the places of my youth. New England has a seemingly endless supply of places to visit and things to do.

[@michellemarikos5029]

Just found you guys, love the videos, using them to plan a girls trip in October, only one wish, please add links or more information in the description- trying to find the places you eat and visit - great job, keep it up!

[@JamesandMeg]

Hey! Thanks so much for watching Michelle! You will love it! We would suggest first week of October if you have the choice! Should be some good foliage at that time. We have most of the stays we recommend linked in the description, if we like them and recommend them. We will get better about sharing the links to other stops! Thank you for the feedback!

[@rituka]

Going to New England this year! Watching all your videos! Great content. I’m also getting outfit ideas. 🍁Question: Where is your green reversible corduroy jacket from? Thanks!

[@daniamng1]

Where is your olive green corduroy jacket from? I loveee it.

[@HolisticHikes]

NH has some features similar to us in the PNW here, great job capturing it. Love the music too.

[@JamesandMeg]

Thank you! It really does! We definitely agree! We said that a few times on this trip! Thank you for watching!!

[@perrybelcourt5441]

New Hampshire is a corporate state Vermont is a community state that why New Hampshire people go to Vermont and pay higher taxes for the wines beers maple syrup chabot cheese ice cream apple ciders and products made in Vermont Vermont makes it own paper products Vermont has alot of liberay and books stores and Vermont in polls say that Vermont is one of the most highly educated in America and Republican governor Scott different than Republican governor of New Hampshire because in Vermont he listen to the people and politicians in Vermont never take corporate money and New Hampshire copycats Vermont has alot of different ciders maple syrup chabot cheese ice cream they add special ingredients to there products and New Hampshire is still piss off at Vermont and New York because during the revolution war they kicked out all of the judges mountain boys and natives were going to hang them and Vermont has the most cover bridges in America

[@HolisticHikes]

@@perrybelcourt5441 we LOVE this. Truly, thank you so much for educating us. VT, seems like one of the BEST states!! 💚💚

[@perrybelcourt5441]

@@HolisticHikes a poll came out and Vermont people are more educated than anywhere else in America because of all the library and book stores and mayor Bernie Sanders went to Russia and brought back alot of Russia arts and culture and a hockey team and opera singers that when Reagan went to Russia and both of them are like in Russia at the time and Vermont had a sister city with Russia and Nicaragua and Vermont people sent money to Nicaragua for help and Vermont has alot of guns Vermont is a open carry state no problem because the Republican governor trying to hold the police department accountable and the Attorney general just brought in a independent organization to investigate a police officer shooting Republican independent and democratic in Vermont never take corporate money because they say they represent the people of Vermont thanks

[@marieShealy]

Headed to the area in two weeks have enjoyed watching your videos, Think we are gonna stay at the cabin you guys stayed in it looks so quaint and cozy !

[@JamesandMeg]

You'll have the best time! The cabin is super cozy! Hope you guys enjoy! The location is perfect! 🍁 Thanks for watching 🧡

[@krystalanderic]

Love love love New England awesome to see you guys having fun there (weather and wind permitting 😂) which was your favorite place so far?

[@JamesandMeg]

Yes! It is so beautiful! Fall felt like the perfect time to explore! We LOVED Vermont, but honestly really enjoyed it all!

[@JamesandMeg]

We want to go back & give each place more time! Squeezing it all in in 2 weeks was tough!

[@JamesandMeg]

Thank you for watching!!

[@krystalanderic]

@@JamesandMeg Fall is definitely the best time, can't beat the leaves turning!

[@noaw1133]

Incredible! I think I’m going to plan a trip to go for next fall. What date did you take this video? I’d like to get a better feel for which month to go.

[@JamesandMeg]

Definitely do it! It's such a great trip for fall & so beautiful! We went the 2nd week of October, but the 1st week of October is probably the safest bet! Thanks for watching

[@melindagroffman9991]

Heading there this year! Thank you. Curious,what day of the week you drove the kancamagus? We're planning on Tuesday to hopefully avoid some of the crowds

[@JamesandMeg]

It was actually a Saturday, Oct 15th. Surprisingly it wasn't that busy, but I also think that was because we were a little past peak at that point. Supposedly the weekend before it was a 4 hour drive from one end to the other. A mid week drive should be much better!

[@Johnny67557]

Many family trips there as a kid. Many pics from the 70's!!

[@JamesandMeg]

That's awesome! I'm sure it has changes a lot since it has become such a tourist attraction the last few years. I'm sure it was even more beautiful back then!

[@meganmccarthy5130]

Meg where did you get your beanie?? Love it. And just found you guys - awesome viewing!

[@danissaesther2488]

Great video! If you had to decide between visiting New Hampshire and Vermont, which one would you choose?

[@JamesandMeg]

Thank you for watching! If we had to choose we would choose Vermont for sure! So many cute small towns, with great food, shopping, & hiking.

[@tallogden1732]

The thing to remember is that the most northwestern portion of Vermont is only about a 4 hour drive from the most southeastern portion of N.H.. No reason not to visit both!

[@misssunshine2022]

Wow i just subscribe to your channel. great videos, love them. what week is this video made in? and the video from Woodstock, when was this week? I wanna go, and i live in Denmark so have no idea on when it's the best time to come and see all the fall colors.

[@blakehobart]

When were you all in the flume area? What time of the year ?

[@PaulsWanderings]

Try driving through Franconia Notch in a whiteout, that's really fun. Franconia Notch has its own weather. It can be bright and sunny to the north and south and you could be in a raging blizzard or fog in the Notch. The Common Man is the best. The Kancamagus Highway is pronounced like THANK. Just call it the Kanc. Drones are not allowed in most of northern New Hampshire. You can't fly a drone in the White Mountains National Forrest, which covers most of the state and the Kanc. runs right through it and you can fly a drone in any state park. The Pemigewasset outlook is surpassed by the outlook just after you crest the high point of the peak and it is on the left.

[@JamesandMeg]

I can't imagine drying through in a white out! I bet that was scary! It definitely seems like what you said, it has its own weather. No matter what was going on in Lincoln, every time we drop into the park it was different.

[@JamesandMeg]

We were definitely were pronouncing it wrong! 😂 A lot of different towns/cities were pronounced differently than we thought. We saw on the map and signs no drones around most everywhere we went. A lot of people were breaking those rules, which is frustrating. Thanks for watching!

[@PaulsWanderings]

@@JamesandMeg as you can imagine, many people, including locals, pronounce the Kanc wrong, me included.

[@loriward4309]

Love your videos. I want to take this exact trip next fall. Can you please tell me how you planned which stops? Air B&B’s? Did you research places to stop and places to stay?

[@JamesandMeg]

Thanks so much! You totally should! We basically did a bunch of research on what areas leaves change first and routed the trip based off that. We then researched the popular stops based off the foliage changes and those were our stops along the route. We'll be sharing our itinerary soon! Thank you for watching 🧡

[@jennygray1222]

When did you go? Trying to figure When we should go. Thanks!

[@JamesandMeg]

We were in New Hampshire the 2nd week of October. It was a little past peak when we were there, but there was also a really bad storm that came through while we were there that blew the leaves off.

[@toddanderson1506]

Hi, I just subscribed to your channel. Awesome content! I have always loved the Flume. I used to live in New Hampshire and I will be moving to North Carolina within the next few years. Do you know if there is anything similar to the Flume in North Carolina?

[@ZebsterP43]

I hope you stopped at my store in N Conway. 😀 Zeb’s General Store is awesome. Is that where you got the whoopie pie?

[@JamesandMeg]

We didn't get a chance to! We really wanted too, but the line was out the door & down the sidewalk when we were in town for the short time, which is great for the store!! We will be visiting again & want to explore North Conway a lot more. We'll definitely stop in next time!

[@Sometimesiexercise]

Would you mind sharing what month/week you visited for context of peek fall foliage?

[@JamesandMeg]

We would recommend end of September or 1st week of October. We were there during Oct 13-15 & we were just a little past peak here in this video. Thanks for watching!

[@louisebazelak5177]

What was the month/date of this trip? Sorry if I missed it.

[@JamesandMeg]

We were in NH from October 13-15 of 2022. We were a little past peak, so I would definitely recommend a week earlier, but also you should account for major traffic & take your time getting around! We heard traffic backed up for hrs, so you may need more time there to see all the things 🧡 thanks for watching!!

[@melissaclark6035]

Can I ask what days you were in Vermont? We are heading there in the fall and I’m super curious of dates for weather, foliage & people.

[@JamesandMeg]

We were there from October 11 - October 25. It was a two week trip, but the Vermont/ NH portion was from October 11-15. I would recommend going the first week of October. We were just slightly past peak in some areas in NH.

[@taylorcoburn1457]

Hey there! About how long did it take to hike/walk The flume there and back? ❤️

[@JamesandMeg]

You could probably do it in an hour, hour & half. It's a loop trail, so you can see a lot of cool stuff along the route. It's really all dependent on if you want to stop a taking photos or cruise through.
