NH's Kancamagus Highway=driving heaven.

YouTube - Kancamagus Highway NH

This was shot on the 2300' descent east off Kancamagus pass. This highway is normally clogged with traffic, and this was a rare opportunity to complete the entire winding descent at or around the 65mph speed limit. The road has tons of s-turns and tight hairpins, and the views off this stretch of road are among the finest in the region. People were biking UP the road, which is about a 2300' climb. There are still some HUGE snowdrifts in a few sections, especially from the 2:00-2:20 mark.

Wow... 2300 inches? That's a BIG hill!

One of the best roads i've driven is route 89 from Sedona, AZ up to Flagstaff. Stunningly beautiful, and some amazing twisties!

We used to vacation up in North Conway! Very nice cruising indeed! Don't forget to stop at the Roadkill Cafe

Nice Galvatron icon!

I have eaten at the Roadkill Cafe, and along with Bellini's (Perhaps the best Italian joint outside the North End) it is a "must do" when you finish with a hiking trip.

Sadly, if gas gets much more expensive, the next video I shoot on that highway will be done from a bicycle.

This road is kind of nice too, though I've only been a bus passenger on it. It's from Norway, and it's called Trollstigen (means "The Troll Path").

here's some more photos:

hahhahah thanks man!

Bellini's is killer. My girl and I were out adventuring hoping to catch some wildlife, and after a long day of nothing stopped in to grab some dinner there. And lo' and behold a mama bear with two cubs show up to eat out of the dumpster. Such impressive animals up close.
