I've been looking for opinions on the best foliage hikes in the White Mountains, but I'm unsatisfied with the usual answers.
The AMC lists the already crowded and obvious trails:

But none of these really stand out as "spectacular" viewpoints, and all are likely to be over-crowded.
Where would you go to do a little leaf-peeping while avoiding the crowds? I'm looking for suggestions at varying difficultly levels, as I'd like to take some out-of-shape family and friends on a nice foliage hike, but would appreciate challenging or unique trails as well for myself and my hiking buddies.
