Kancamagus highway lincoln to Conway

This beautiful road follows the great divide where the americas and Africa collided eons ago

(We have followed this in Iceland and Newfoundland too)

It is largely a ridge between granite formed mountains 

At Lincoln we visited the paper mill market. There was a moon cafe that sold the best coffee and croissants.

We started on the Kancamagus highway. It is a pleasing winding road through the divide. It is called after an Indian chief who tried to protect his people’s rights to the land.

A deer ran across the road and we saw some birds of prey. 

We stopped at all the pull ins and viewed the mountains. The visibility is not so good today but it is smoky from Canada fires and a heat haze. Last stop was the lower falls near to Conway. I sat for ages on the huge rocks near the fierce flowing river bouncing between and over boulders. 

So rewarding lost in my thoughts and writing my blog!

People were paddling in the cold water and jumping over the rocks. Those large yellow butterflies were there as well as flies. It was a relaxing sunny day.
