Hi New Hampshire folks!

I will be visiting your beautiful state soon and am looking for a good driving route to Conway from the Boston area. I'd like to optimize for nature views and viewpoints (fall leaves, specifically). We'll have roughly an afternoon to complete the drive, and will be doing the Kancamagus Highway the next day so that doesn't need to be a part of this drive.

There seem to be about 3 or so main options for the drive: I-95 and then Rte 16, or I-93 up to one of Manchester, Concord, or new Hampton, and then cut across to reach Conway. However I'm open to a more circuitous route and even a detour or two for must-see views. I know that lesser-known, more local spots can have breathtaking views as well, so I thought I would ask here.

Thanks in advance and do comment with your favorite routes or leaf-peeping spots!
