The Bartlett Covered Bridge in Bartlett, New Hampshire just off NH Route 302 was built in 1851 and was closed to traffic in 1939. The bridge spans the Saco River. After several years of various uses including storage it was purchased by Milton Graton in 1966. Graton renovated the bridge and built a gift shop inside the structure. The current owners still maintain the bridge and run the gift shop.
The bridge can be seen from the road (NH Route 302) and there is a sizable parking area for the gift shop where you can access the bridge.

October 23, 2018 Joseph Candora Hiking, Mountain, New England, New Hampshire, North America, Road Trips, Scenic Drives, United States

The Bear Notch Road is an often overlooked scenic vista for people exploring the Kancamagus Highway region of New Hampshire. The mountain views are some of the best in the state especially during foliage season. The road is seasonal only and cuts a nine mile swath from the Kancamagus Highway above Lower Falls and Rocky Gorge to NH Route 302 in Bartlett, New Hampshire. The road also provides a good bypass of the heavy traffic going through Conway and North Conway. It is your chance to see leaves and mountains instead of people.

The Holy Grail is converted 1895 St. Joseph’s Church in Epping, New Hampshire.

The restaurant is moderately priced and casual and the location in the old church is quite charming.
