The Panoramic Views At Cathedral Ledge In New Hampshire Can Be Seen Just By Driving

Here in New Hampshire, there are views all around us. Nature as far as the eye can see, or simple lovely views of our small towns and neighborhoods. No matter what you prefer, there’s something beautiful to look at around every corner. But, what about if you don’t feel like strapping on a pair of boots and hitting a trail? Well, that’s no problem at this spot. Just hop in the car and take the scenic route!

Located in beautiful Bartlett you’ll find Cathedral Ledge State Park. There’s a lot to love about a trip to this beauty, but the view at the namesake overview is our favorite.

The views at the top include the Saco River Valley and the White Mountains. That includes an incredible view of Echo Lake in North Conway.

And the best part is that catching these extra-special views doesn’t have to include breaking a sweat.

Instead, hop in the car and take the mile-long auto road straight to the top!

Once there, the 700-foot Cathedral Ledge will dazzle you. It’s so high and the views so expansive that it almost doesn’t seem fair that the effort was so minimal.

Once at the top, you can gaze out at the view. Or take the short hiking trail at the top to explore.

You’re likely to see climbers here as well as at nearby White Horse ledge.

And, if you time it right the sunset is absolutely incredible.

While we love the drive up to Cathedral Ledge, you can also choose to hike to the top via a 2.8-mile moderately challenging trail from Echo Lake. Click here to learn more about the route.

Cathedral Ledge State Park is open throughout the spring and summer and opens once the weather is reliably seasonal. You can keep track and learn more about visiting through the official New Hampshire State Park website.
