I always enjoy seeing covered bridges. There are over 80 in New Hampshire. The White Mountain National Forest Bridge -- or Albany Covered Bridge -- was a stop along the scenic Kancamagus Highway (Route 112). The 120-foot long bridge was in a beautiful setting, spanning the crystal clear waters of the Swift River. It is one of the most photographed bridges in New Hampshire. I could see why.
Albany Covered Bridge, c. 1858
The Albany Covered Bridge was originally built in 1858 for a cost of $1300. The new bridge was destroyed by storm. It was quickly rebuilt and used for over 100 years. It was renovated in 1970.
