The Perfect New England Fall Colors Road Trip: Kancamagus Highway, Stowe & More 

Sometimes I forget how amazing the content on this channel is. Well done Josh

While upstate NY is beautiful....NY is not a part of New England. Just the six states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island make up the New England states. Nice that you and your dad can enjoy time together traveling around the USA. Safe travels.....

I've been to 40 US states and the first time I went to Vermont I was so amazed at how beautiful it was. It's still my favorite state. I remember just driving along not even knowing where to go and came up over a hill to this place called Lake Willoughby. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing and it was in Vermont!

This brings back memories. 30 years ago I lived in Pittsfield and have been hiking on Mt. Greylock many times. Was fun to see the Red Lion and Rockwell museum again also.

Laying sick in bed in the rainy Netherlands, your video's are the perfect medicine. Much respect to you and your pops. Already looking forward to the next one!

New England is stunning.

Epic trip! You lucked out with CLEAR SKIES ON Mt. Washington!!! Its in the clouds like 300 days a year. So glad you enjoyed our lovely state of NH, but Vt and Maine are awesome as well. Loved loved the video. We got alot of good layghs watching you and your dad. Thankyou!!

One view after another was breathtaking. The video quality was off the charts. Loved the time lapse as well. I dont recall watching any video on youtube that was so beautiful from beginning to end. You have inspired us to take that trip someday (using your guide to help us navigate of course). Thanks Josh and Pops!

Great father & son trip 👍 Thanks from Munich 🇩🇪 😉

I live in New England and never take to the time to admire the beauty around me in the fall....thank you for highlighting it

0:24 I love you are including your father/sister in your video. You are making some forever memories!!!

I enjoyed yet another of your Roadtrip with Pops videos. We followed most of this route a couple of weeks ahead of you in our RV. Fall colors were just starting when we arrived at the end of Sept. We missed the Flume hike that looked incredible. I am a covered bridge guy too and really enjoyed the Covered Bridge Gift Shoppe that is actually ON the bridge. Stayed at NFS campground across the street from the Albany covered bridge. You didn’t miss much on the Ben & Jerry’s tour. You can’t take photos anyway. Stayed in the Berkshires, but not a Norman Rockwell fan. Did the Alice’s Restaurant Massacree pilgrimage in Stockbridge and nearby Great Barrington instead (Norman Rockwell’s studio was upstairs from Alice’s restaurant). Did a tour of the Trappe family lodge that included a welcome by a Trappe family member. Did the Cog railway too commemorating 50 years since I climbed Mt. Washington in 1972 while my family drove up and met me at the top. Picking the last trip of the day for the sunset was a good choice.

I appreciate that what you said about the tour buses. Having one single vehicle of tourists instead of like, 30 individual cars clogging up the roads is ideal in my opinion. Especially for those who can't afford a car/driving or are disabled, it gives them an opportunity to go on a trip like this. Amazing video as always!!!

Lived in New England almost 30 years.. and have hiked a dozen of the 4k footers up in NH multiple times over the years. If I got bored on a weekend, I would just drive up to the Kanc and overnight in north Conway. The Cape -- aka Cape Cod -- was my second choice. Great memories! Will probably make my way back there someday and play out my innings.

Love the genuine moment at 36:43. Never take any of those moments for granted with family. Life is precious and too short. I love your videos Josh. No matter how lengthy your travel videos are, I enjoy watching every minute of it. Thanks for letting us come along on your adventures. Never stop uploading new videos.

I’ve lived here my whole life and it took a couple of Canadians to come down and do it justice! Well done!! Also, 2022 foliage season was one of the most memorable in the past ten years, so you definitely nailed it.

Glad you made it to New England. I’m from Maine and have been to most of these areas many times. Your videos are always thorough and show some of the best things to see. October brings all the “ leaf peepers🍁” to these areas. ❤

We lived in the berkshires in Massachusetts for a few months this past fall. So funny to see you film at Taft farms, we would go there at least once a week for produce and their baked goods!

Your dad seems like a cool person to go on a trip with. I like him.

I was eagerly waiting for a new full length release, as a non-american these give me so much insight into how beautiful american scenery can be! Amazing stuff.

We were up there the same time with a similar route. Acadia/Bar Harbor, Salem, Cape Cod, Providence, Mystic, and then Sleepy Hollow. Really beautiful time of the year!

I often forget how beautiful New England is because I've lived in New Hampshire my whole life. But you really should have rented an RV instead of staying in hotels. Thanks for coming!! If you think sabbaday Falls was beautiful you are to try Lost River. Next time check out the old man in the mountain and Lake Winnipesaukee.. this pass cold spell Mount Washington just hit a record low of 109 degrees below zero wind chill. Lol

Love your videos and channel! Your point-of-view comes across as much more humble and down-to-earth than a lot of other travel vlog / influencers I see. Perfect and very well done! I really enjoyed the Route 66 video as well, and the Alaska/ Denali trip. I also appreciate all the good snack tips! 😮🙌🏼

Hi👋🏽Pops… Hi👋🏽Josh… I’m loving this trip so far…I should have come to the airport to say hello to both of you…I’m not that far from Sleepy Hollow…but have never checked out the Headless Horsemen.

who knew sleepy hollow tour is a thing hahaha. That tower on top of the mountain looks pretty cool. Nice lodge too, the color looks amazing on that drive. Have only done the fall color of CA but definitely not as concentrated. Haven't finished watching the whole thing yet, but hahaha shipping two gallons of maple syrup sounds like a pancake party.

Lived in New England a number of years until I returned South. I do so miss the fall colors and the dry snow. Thanks Lens and Pops.

I'm so glad you covered some of the beautiful areas of Connecticut. I lived there for most of my life, and autumn was my favorite season. Usually, the leaves peak around October 18-25, in S. Connecticut. Kent Falls was one of my favorite places to visit. The hike up the side of the falls is pretty cool!

That rainstorm 10/13 was WILD. Was camping up in the whites. Absolutely wild rainstorm

Fantastic!!! Love the Beaver Pond footage and of course the White Mountains in the fall. There is no other place like it.

You are your dad are the best, so fun and kind!

That beaver pond moment is really nice The right place at the right time

This has definitely been on my bucket list! I lived in Arkansas for a year, and Fall colors there are supposed to be Top 5, but I really want to see Vermont someday!!!

My sweetheart your in my neck of the woods.. I’ve been watching your for over two years!! I love ❤️ you guys and my darlings at 60 years old over 40 years of hiking climbing you are taking me on hikes I could probably never do ??!!! I am so impressed with you!! And Dad is very Hant!! ❤

I used to live in New England until I moved to Florida, the foliage is the one thing I miss. Of course, I also don't have to worry about the cold winters that follow.

I love how people from the west coast just aren’t used to older homes! My house was built in 1767, next time you come I’d be happy to show you guys!

1998 a friend and I flew to Portland, Maine, and rode our bicycles back to Western Washington, sea to sea. Unfortunately we had a disagreement our first night in Maine and I took off the next day by myself. Because I wasn’t in shape yet the Kanc almost killed me. Started in Conway and coasted into Lincoln. At one point I crawled off the side of the road and lay in the bushes while the flies and insects had their way with me. My friend had the bug spray. The next day she caught up with me west of Lincoln and we continued our trip. It took us two months and we rode 3600 miles. By the way I was a 58-year-old great grandmother.

Wonderful video - it must have taken hours to put everything together so seamlessly! My daughter and I used to take roadtrips together but now she has babies so I have to travel vicariously through youtubers like you - well done!

Your channel is outstanding 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.

Born and raised in New Hampshire, it was fun to see it through your eyes. Next visit, I suggest the longest covered bridge in the U.S. It was the longest in the world, for years. It's a western NH covered bridge called the Cornish-Windsor Bridge connecting Vermont. Also, near St. Gaudens National Park. It was the home of a famous sculptor. Lincoln sculpture, etc.

I think you would love the Delaware Water Gap and the Surrounding area during the fall. It was an amazing video. 54 minutes went by in the blink of an eye ! The best part was I knew your dad had purchased 2 gallons of maple syrup already!😂 You are lucky to be able to spend so much quality time with your dad! Edit, alien sightings seem to be a thing in Massachusetts. On Cape Cod there was supposedly an Alien abduction.

I love “ traveling” with you and your Dad! Thanks! I agree with you about Sabaday Falls.. I was there in 2015, and seeing your footage brought back great memories!

That was brilliant. Thank you for bringing the beautiful nature to our desktops. Cheers

Josh, your Daddy is just the nicest man! I hate to say it, but he needs to be in every video you make. You guys are such a good team! That is so rare and natural! It’s real and it shines through ❤

I loved watching your video adventures there in New England. I am native Southern Californian girl but lived in New Hampshire for 10.5 years, I would like to give you and anyone else some suggestions if you visit New England again for Fall Foliage. First I will say New Hampshire has the most gorgeous Fall Foliage sights, though everyone always says Vermont. I suggest the southern drive across both states. For Vermont drive route 7 that you start on from eastern NY turns into art 9 as you drive east over the Green Mountains. You will drive through historical towns like Hoosick, NY Bennington and Wilmington, VT and over Hogback Mountain! That is one beautiful drive! Then you take Rt 9 and continue on into New Hampshire. Visiting Keene, NH is a must! Now to me the drive from Keene on Rt 9 all the way to Hillsboro,NH is one of THE MOST breathtaking views of Fall Color! Then drive south on the 202 and it will take you to beautiful small towns like Antrim (where I lived), Bennington, and Peterborough,NH. And since you love hiking try hiking Mount Monadnock! Just a suggestion

I love your channel! I live in NY's Hudson River Valley, which you saw a bit of when you stopped in Sleepy Hollow. You may enjoy a fall foliage trip here in the future. I think a road trip of upstate NY would be fun. People hear NY they automatically think NYC. There is so much more to NY than NYC. The Hudson Valley, the Adirondacks, the Finger Lakes,, Niagara Falls.. I've been to the Norman Rockwell Museum and I'm about 2 hour from VT so I will have to check some of these places out! I love that you travel with you dad. Makes me want to take another road trip with my dad! Whenever I want to take a trip somewhere, I just have to watch one of your great videos! I share about your channel and videos on Facebook. I look forward to supporting your channel in the future. I was watching Rt 66 videos when I stumbled upon your Rt 66 trip.

Great video! Being from New England, we've done a lot of these many times, especially the Kancamagus Highway and Franconia Notch. I'm no longer living in New England and miss the fall foliage! Thanks for highlighting some of the great places up there and bringing back some wonderful memories 🙂

Enjoyed the video so much. Glad you and your dad had each other for the adventure! Always wanted to see New England and in my mid 70’s, this is an awesome way to see it. (Not able to get around well now) I am now a new subscriber to your channel. ❤️

Its very beautiful, and thanks for sharing. I love anything like this, especially nature in all its hues. Pretty spectacular coloures..if I were there I would need more than 2hours for sure, and if I were an artist 🎨 I would paint it to canvas, but I'm not, so would be sure to take photos and see whilst there if some poetic words sprang to mind..if not then I would diary it! Luckily there are tons of beauty spots back here, and I have written poetry about, but have to be in a specific and nostalgic mood/mind frame to do so! What I love about antiquity as in Historical places is capturing how the ancients saw such places and getting the energetic vibe of such places..this is why I guess I love historic sites. One American place I love in particular is Salem Massachusites and for a specific reason! Thanks for sharing ..

Incredible footage and Incredible views to behold! Hopefully we can get a 2023 Fall Episode! I can binge watch this all night.

Jason, I am reliving so many of the road trips we have taken and love the interaction between you and your dad.

In a word…New England is Beautiful! Compliments for the beautiful report.🍁✨🍻

I have been to all those places numerous times, and it never gets old. Each fall we do what we call the loop. We live on the south coast of Massachusetts, and we travel west through Rhode Island and Connecticut then up north through the Berkshires to Vermont and then east through New Hampshire and Maine. The Rockwell Museum is a must stop, one of my favorite places anywhere. We head back from Arcadia down east along the coast through Boston and then back home. For the most part we travel back roads taking our time. Since I retired, we have travelled all over this country, but I must admit fall in New England is the best. Thanks for posting.

May I just say " WOW" .....how breath-taking is that!!! I just joined your channel and love, love, love you two!!! What a great Father and Son team!!! Keep them coming as you are stuck with me!! Have a great week-end everyone!!!

I live an hour south of the Whites in Concord, NH. It's always so much fun to watch other people's perspectives of places I've been going to my entire life. NH is stunning in October, no question about that! So happy you and Pops enjoyed your visit!

Wow! I wish I lived in Vermont.

I love how this channel has gone around the country not just the usual …but when you came to New England through my hometown … Omg 😊❤

Am I the only one that keeps hearing “this one time, at band camp…”. I enjoy the videos and learn a lot. I wish I could have done this with my father although my late wife and I did get to many of the places they go to. Cherished memories.

I LOVED your video- thank you! We were unable to do a fall foliage trip this year due to family health issues, so watching your video was the next best thing! Thanks again!

Those trains run on diesel fuel which explains the high price of a ticket. I Live about half an hour from the Kancamagus highway and my son and I will drive it early in the morning at least a half a dozen times through the spring summer and fall. Your video here with your father made me realize just how important it was for me as a father to be doing these things with my son. You are short rant about the tourist buses on the kangamangus highway completely changed my point of view on them thank you for helping me pull my head out!

I love your father/son road-trip videos…you do a great job, but I am in love with your dad. What a cool, amazing, easy/going man. Great job singing too…you are blessed to have such a dad..and I’m sure he feels blessed to have such a nice respectful son! Keep up the good work….

Wait, you guys are based out of the Inland Empire?! I grew up there! You do a great job, Josh! I've been all over our great country except the beautiful Northeast and you make me want to see it even more.

Beaver Pond is a great hidden spot. Years ago it was just a small dirt pull over with nothing else around. When you stop by there later in the day before the sun sets there is no one around. Also a great spot to see the clouds roll down the mountain into the water.

We have had so much fun hanging out with you guys , Fabulous videos and fun Company😊

Literary road trip, absolutely! Love your movies. Always feels like home watching you and your dad go on road trips.

Another great video. Your dad is a hoot!

Wow, those are some beautiful views Josh & Pops! And Pop's time lapse once again is incredible! Thank you guys for sharing your New England adventure with us.

Thanks for your great video series. We live in Connecticut and I see most of the places in this video and are glad that you and your dad are enjoying it as much as we do. You might want to do Cape Cod sometime because there is quite a bit of sailing and fishing history. Thanks again and be safe

Love seeing stuff like this Josh! Also really enjoy that you include your family with your trips.

Thank you for this great fall color road trip! One of my favorites.

This is my favorite video on RU-vid now. Spectacular Josh and Pops. Thank you for sharing it. ❤

Epic trip! You hit all the good spots! I have 7 days planned out there next October with about 15 hikes 😄 I’m planning a Vancouver to Jasper (home out of Calgary) hiking road trip, and a loop of the Dakotas if you need inspiration 🤘🏼

We drove the Mt. Washington road last summer. Hands down the most terrifying drive of my life. It was extremely foggy, maybe 50 ft of visibility most of the way up after 3,500 ft. We were scared, but what an experience.

New England is beautiful ant time of the year. Fall is my favorite time. Live in Md. My late husband and I used to go camping up there. New Hampshire and Maine were our favorite areas.

Great videos! Thanks for including information on wheelchair accessibility whenever possible, really appreciate that. Keep up the great work.

Wow! You captured some really spectacular color and views -- as good as and even better than many of the still photo portfolios I've seen of New England fall foliage. And to lighten the commentary you and Pops play off each other just like the terrific team you are. Thanks much for this amazing hour of entertainment and visual pleasure.

Great video! I agree that staying in Lincoln is a great option, but I would also recommend considering the Mount Washington Valley, which includes the towns of Conway, Bartlett, and Jackson, New Hampshire. From there, you can easily access the Kancamagus Highway (Kanc) via Bear Notch Road in Bartlett, as well as Crawford Notch, which is near the Cog Railway. Pinkham Notch is also a short drive away and offers spectacular views and access to Mount Washington trailheads and the auto road for those who want to drive up to the summit. Additionally, there are many more lodging and dining options in the Valley, which can make it feel less crowded during busy seasons and won't need to eat Macdonald's twice in one day!

Thank you so very much for letting me tag along on your epic trip ~ what a wonderful way to experience the fall colors! Tell your Dad I think he has a wonderful singing voice!!

All I wanted was a cozy fall video to play in the background while I was studying…but this, my friend, I couldn’t ignore! Lol! You truly captured the essence of autumn with all the footage you took during this journey. I especially loved the bonding time spent with your dad. He has an awesome singing voice. It definitely has inspired me to do the same with my dad considering how much he’s been requesting to do a road trip lately. So, thank you for such a beautifully done video.

So awesome!!!!! I want to do this with my Mom!!! The colors are everything! 😍

It has been so many years since I took a fall drive in the Kanc that I can’t remember when I actually did it. My in-laws took myself and my small son on that trip, they lived all their lives in Berlin. We had THE loveliest day but EVERY day I spent with them was super special.

This is on our bucket list, my only concern is hitting the fall at the wrong time, when we come to the US it's for minimum of 10 days, so we have to get it right. This video was beautiful and we hope to get there in the next few years.

What a wonderful and beautiful trip!! I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you!

Awesome content. Thank you for taking us to a trip to New England. The autumn colors are amazing 😊

An absolutely beautiful part of your country! A fantastic video, thank you.

Incredible video. Seeing Flume Gorge, Fall colored trees, and the Cog Railroad was incredible

I love your road trip videos. Best RU-vid road trip videos I’ve seen yet. Great information and you show just what people need to see to plan their trip. I just found your site so I haven’t looked through all of it, but a road trip through Yellowstone and Grand Teton would be amazing for you to do.

Great video It brings back great memories of when I used to drive route 7

I loved your video. I was born in Massachusetts and spent much of my life in New England including 19 years in Maine. Now I live in Israel and one of the few things I miss are the Fall leaves.

I'm sure someone has already mentioned it, but when I visited in Mid-October 2018, Hwy 113 had the best fall colors for me as the 2 lane road had trees where the limbs extended over the road from both sides, enclosing you in extremely bright reds, oranges, and yellows.

We missed you guys by a couple of days! For our first overseas trip from Australia since the start of the pandemic we headed to NY, Upstate NY, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Boston, Providence / Newport. The colours were simply breathtaking! Like you (we're in Western Australia) we don't really get autumn (fall) colours at home.

Love watching all your travels, well done and entertaining.

You've got a good eye for this. I'm not a pro myself, but you know what an audience is looking for. You don't let shots overstay their welcome. And I like that. Keep the pace brisk but not too fast. Good job.

Absolutely beautiful!! 🙌🏼

The entire East Coast was once covered with trees. When the Pilgrims landed there were trees everywhere.

Love your trips and the relationship you and your dad have.

Your New England video is by far the best i have seen. You not only captured beautiful sceneries, but also provided practical information, such as traffic, parking, and other attractions. The tour buses also gave me a tip of an option in addition to driving. Thank you for sharing!

We love your videos! You and your dad make great partners and we enjoy seeing your travels and adventures! Wonderful photography, and your personalities are so cute and likable too. Thanks for sharing your journeys!

I love that you get to do these things with your Dad. Absolutely love this content. Keep up the great work. God bless.

Great video! Very helpful with planning our trip!❤

Superb! Stunning location, excellent photography and great commentary - thanks so much for making this!
