Growing up in New Hampshire, I’ve had the chance to explore many of New England’s roads and locally-known “secrets”. I’ve been looking forward to adding New England to myscenicdrives.com since we launched a year-and-half ago, so it gives me great pleasure to announce the first set of scenic drives in New Hampshire.

Beginning with a few of the classics, these are the “must-see” roads of New Hampshire — and of course there’s more to come. Let us know your favorites.

• New Hampshire 153
• Kancamagus Scenic Byway
• Three Rivers Scenic Drive
• White Mountain Trail

We’re also happy to announce that we are now resellers of the White Mountain National Forest Passes, required at many day-use areas in the White Mountain National Forest. These fees help support and maintain high-quality recreation facilities. Save time by purchasing yours on myscenicdrives.com.

From rugged ocean coast to lush, moss-draped forests to the snow-capped volcanic peaks of the Cascade Mountains the Pacific Northwest is a diverse scenic playground. Our Pacific Northwest Scenic Drives offer exhilarating adventures that hopefully tempt you out of the car and into nature. Whether you are a seasoned hiker up for a day-long trek or interested in a quiet leisurely stroll and picnic, certain areas of Pacific Northwest National Forests require day-use permits.

We are happy to announce that we are now an official reseller of the Pacific Northwest National Forest Passes. Save time by purchasing your passes online before you go. Our secure checkout is easy and orders are usually shipped same day!

As the weather improves (we hope ), explore the natural beauty that our National Forests and Parks preserve and protect. And remember, it’s the journey, not the destination.

The blog has been a bit quiet lately for no other reason than we have been on the road, enjoying national parks such as Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Big Horn Canyon, Devils Tower, and the Badlands.

It has been an amazing trip, and we have a lot of new drives to bring to you!

Some of the most fascinating parts of our travels have been the National Parks. Beginning with Yellowstone National Park established in 1872, the National Parks System now comprises more than a 100 parks, each providing unique, natural beauty.

On August 14^th and 15^th, all of the National Parks will have free general admission, making it an ideal time to explore a new park or visit one of your favorites.

Can’t decide which park to visit? Don’t worry, the next free days are on September 25^th and November 11^th.

Or, consider purchasing the America the Beautiful Interagency Annual Adventure Pass that provides free, unlimited entrance to the National Parks, National Forests, and more all year round!

We hope that you are enjoying this wonderful summer by exploring the world’s natural beauty.
