A New England road trip is full of picturesque scenes. Rolling hills, mountain ranges, farmlands with scene-stealing barns. One of the most iconic views has to be New England covered bridges. They are a photographer’s dream and amazing feats of architecture and engineering from a bygone era; picture the construction of one of these, beam by beam, hundreds of years ago.

There are hundreds of New England covered bridges you can visit. Here are a few favorites to add to your itinerary from Escape’s New York camper van rental site for some great photo ops!
