Most famously known for its fall color, New Hampshire is one of the best places to live during the autumn months. Covered in vibrant hues of red, orange and yellow, the spectacular fall foliage makes average road trips just a liiitle less boring. Driving through Conway's scenic highways and venturing through the White Mountains guarantees a moment for pause and picture worthy moments that will last a lifetime. It seems that activities throughout the fall are never ending. Whether you're watching scary movies with friends, hosting a bonfire or trying every pumpkin flavored beer you can find, there's never a dull moment once the fall rolls around. And whether you're someone who enjoys fresh apple crisp from the orchard or fear-inducing halloween attractions that will get your blood pumping, New Hampshire's wide range of activities are the perfect segway into a wintery white wonderland.
Orchards
Fairs
There's an abundance of farms and orchards spread throughout New Hampshire that are open for apple and pumpkin picking throughout the autumn months. If you're lucky enough, you can even find orchards with activities such as corn mazes and buying fresh to order apple cider donuts. The perfect way to spend a brisk fall day, bringing your friends and loved ones is bound to bring universal smiles and laughs. Take pictures in the pumpkin patch, fill your home with the delicious apple aroma of any and all delicious treats that you make, and see who can carve the spookiest pumpkin!

Fair season is the best season. There is no place quite like the fair where you can watch horse shows, go on carnival rides, and get your face painted all while simultaneously eating every fried food that you can think of (seriously, fairs can fry up anything). Ever heard of fried oreos? If not, you've really got to get on that. Bring your friends and go check out the giant pumpkin weigh off, feed some livestock, and check out all of the different arts & crafts on display. Depending on what fair you choose to go to, there's also a chance for some great live music and beer tasting that can make any Saturday night a better one. And before you go, don't forget to get yourself a sticky caramel apple for the ride home! Click here for a list of all the fairs and festivals taking place this year.
