THIS ride starts in our home state of New Hampshire . In fact , it is in the White Mountain National Forest , central in the state . So often , we forget the beauty and majesty right in our backyard , but this is where we find this incredible ride .
We begin in Lincoln , New Hampshire , and start our journey on US Rt . 3 , heading north toward Franconia Notch . Our first stop is at the famous Indian Head Profile . This natural granite rock formation has been a destination stop for generations . As you pull into the Indian Head Resort , you ’ ll notice the gray metal tower you can climb up for a more bird ’ s-eye view of the profile , which is directly across the road . You can also grab lunch or supper .
Continuing north from the Indian Head Resort , you ’ ll pass through Franconia Notch , and on a bike , you will experience the massive rock mountains towering above you . We always get the feeling of how small we are in comparison . Passing by the two lakes in the Notch , we reach the height of land and past Cannon Mountain Ski Area . Continuing north , we enjoy the beauty of the National Forest .
Soon we enter the town of Twin Mountain , where you ’ ll find one of our favorite restaurants . Munroe ’ s Family Restaurant is a great place to share a 12⎪MARCH 2022⎪shop . cmausa . org
