However, New Hampshire boasts a number of activities and must-see sites all year round. What’s more, New Hampshire is also a largely dog-friendly state.

Perhaps the most popular freeway in the entire state, “The Kanc”, as it is also called, is a 34.5 mile stretch of road that offers some of the most scenic views in the entirety of New Hampshire. The highway was named after Kancamagus, a Native American who served as the ruler of Sagamon people. People from all over the country go to New Hampshire just to try and ride through The Kanc. It is especially popular during autumn when the leaves start to fall from the trees. Take your dog on a road trip to one of the United States’ most picturesque highways.Â
