Heart Shaped Tree

The Kancamagus Highway is a 34 mile stretch of highway that runs through the White Mountain National Forest. It has been designated as an American Scenic Byway. It reaches an altitude of just under 3,000 ft. at its highest highest point. It is considered one of the best Fall foliage viewing areas in the country.

The drive along the Kancamagus Highway takes you back in time as you drive through a forest that offers no comforts of the modern day world; no gas stations, no restaurants, hotels or other businesses have pierced their way into the heart of the Kancamagus Highway. Those luxuries are left behind at both ends of the scenic byway but well within reach when needed.

There are 6 campgrounds and numerous trails along the highway. The highway dates back to the Indian tribes of the 1600's.

We spent this weekend in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I read someplace about a naturally occurring 'heart shaped' tree. But the only information as to where it was simply said it was on the Kancamagus Highway. You also have to be standing at just the right spot to see it as a 'heart'.

We finally found it, just as we were getting ready to head back to Connecticut as it was getting dark and the sky was gray. I'm so happy I was able to capture it with it's glorious Fall colors!
