Route from Calais to New Hampshire
My husband and I will be driving from Calais, ME to Littleton, NH in early October. Need advice on route. We are considering getting on US 2 at Bangor and entering NH at Gorham. Or we could get on the interstate until we reach the Lewiston vicinity, then head for US 302 and Conway, NH. We're hoping to hit some good fall color. The scenery is more important than the miles. My husband might disagree!! We would welcome any other suggestions from someone familiar with the area. We will be returning from Nova Scotia and will visit the coast in the first part of our trip so won't return to that area. We would really appreciate any advice! Thanks.

Thanks to all of you for your help. Based on what you're advising, we will opt for US 2 and Gorham. As much as we would like to see the Conway area, that traffic situation makes me nervous, especially since we will be in that area on the weekend. Maybe next time!

Ellen, you won't like N Conway unless you like outlet malls and strip shopping centers. The area surrounding N Conway is beautiful, but N. Conway itself is an eyesore (IMO). YOu'll have great scenery via Route 2. If you have time, when you get to Gorham, you can take 16 south through Pinkham Notch to Jackson, then 302 West through Crawford Notch onto Littleton. Enjoy your trip!
