- The Kancamagus Highway, Conway

- The Sawyer Highway
Rich Kaszeta/flickr Route 118 runs from Warren toward Woodstock. The highway is less well known the the Kanc, but no less gorgeous.

- Route 26

- Route 153

- Route 124
Doug Kerr/flickr The Monadnock Valley gives a taste of New Hampshire mountains without the long drive North. Jaffrey to Marlborough is a short but stunning ride. To make it a loop, head back east on route 101.
- Route 4A
