The 2026 foliage season in the White Mountains National Forest was particularly brilliant. While the colors had peaked about a week earlier they were still amazing this day along with the emerging texures “stick season.” Here is the view of the conical summit of Mount Chocorua from Bear Notch Road, heading into Bartlett, NH. The road will soon be closed to winter travel.
