Yes, Franconia Notch is beautiful, as is Dicksville notch-- and the road up to Errol-- along the Adroscggin river a patch of federally protected wilderness-- along with 7 mile rapids-- some of the best white water for rafting on the East coast is not to be missed either-- but as beautiful as NH is, I think Nova Scotia in canada is better-- it is, i think, the most ruggedly beautiful place on the east coast.

Antigonish in the North is one of those out of the way places-- that everyone should get to--(getting to NS from NY is like driving half way to Europe--almost 1500 miles!)

(and what is a gonish anyway that people are against it?)
