Bretton Woods is the home of the Omni Mount Washington Resort, where delegates from 44 nations gathered for the World Monetary Conference in 1944 to help Europe and other countries rebuild after World War II. Today, the distinctive red-roofed hotel is still inviting to guests from around the world and its veranda is ideal for relaxing as you enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and the stunning mountain views. Once Crawford Notchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bustling train depot, Fabyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Station is now a charming restaurant, redolent with the history of railroads, early tourism, and the New Hampshire ski industry.

The Mount Washington Cog Railway has been climbing the three miles to the 6,288-foot summit of Mt. Washington since 1869. The workhorses of the railway are a fleet of bio-diesel locomotives, and a morning steam train.

Bretton Woods is the largest ski area in New Hampshire, offering 464 acres of skiing and riding on 62 trails and 35 glades. In addition, there are three terrain parks and a Nordic Center.

Known for its groomed Snowmobile Trail System and access to hundreds of miles of riding, snowmobiling in this area is widely recognized for its scenic excellence and mountaintop views.

Discover more at visitwhitemountains.com

It’s amazing the images we see in ordinary things, such as clouds, or rocks. The White Mountains are known for their granite rock faces and stone features— some that are quite famous. See if you can see them, too.

THE INDIAN HEAD Lincoln

JAYNE O’CONNOR

This rock profile is also known as Mount Pemigewasset, named after the Chief of the Pemigewasset tribe. Impressive views of this rock face can be seen from the parking lot of the Indian Head Resort on Route 3.

BOISE ROCK Franconia Notch

Boise Rock is a large glacial boulder with quite a history. Folklore tells us that in the early 1800’s, a local teamster by the name of Thomas Boise was riding through the Notch when he struck a massive snowstorm. He was unable to continue his ride home, and had to seek shelter for the night. He came upon a large boulder (Boise Rock), and made camp for the night underneath it.

ELEPHANT’S HEAD Crawford Notch

If you look down the road while driving past the AMC Highland Center in scenic Crawford Notch, you might see what appears to be the ears and trunk of an elephant on this mountainside.

PULPIT ROCK Carter Notch

Located on the east side of Carter Dome, this large boulder juts out over Carter Notch and is reminiscent of a pulpit. gwenstrattonhikes

THE OLD LADY of the MOUNTAINS, or “THE WATCHER” Franconia Notch

conquer our atv, hiking, and snowmobile trails or raft new hampshire’s only white water river.

This small rock profile is an outcropping of Eagle Cliff, which is on the shoulder of Mt. Lafayette. She faces east with a bend-head, as if watching for visitors coming into Franconia Notch. The best viewing is from a small clearing on the south end of Profile Lake.

OLD MAN OF THE MOUNTAIN Cannon Mountain, Franconia Notch

While the Old Man of the Mountain fell on May 3, 2003, his profile still lives on as New Hampshire’s state symbol. There are still several viewing areas within Franconia Notch as well as the Old Man of the Mountain Profile Plaza where you can take a walk down to Profile Lake and view the Old Man as he once was through a series of iron pillars.

Zealand was a large township, incorporated around 1880, and built by J.E. Henry, who operated many logging operations in the White Mountains. In 1886 and 1897, forest fires destroyed much of the logging acreage in Zealand and ultimately led to the town’s demise. Today, small pieces of this ghost town can be found off Route 302 at the Zealand Campground. As you follow the river, parts of an old railroad bed, the engine house foundation, and remnants of the sawmill can be found. What’s left of the once prosperous logging town of Livermore is just a short walk up the Sawyer River Road on Route 302. Livermore was a fully incorporated township in 1876, and in the early 1900’s, the town had a population of about 100, a logging railroad, sawmill, blacksmith shop, school, 18 homes, and the Saunders Mansion. The sawmill burned 3 times in the town’s short life, and floods in 1927 took out a large portion of the railroad and several bridges. By 1951, the state legislature revoked the town’s charter, and Livermore became a ghost town. The town of Passaconaway once stood where Albany is today. In the White Mountain National Forest, just before the Bear Notch Road cut-off on the Kancamagus Highway, you will come to the town’s only surviving building: the Russell-Colbath homestead (built in 1831), along with the old cemetery nearby. Between the 1820’s-1830’s a settled village was formed with a sawmill, schools, homes, and a post office. In the 1850’s, 1,500 people lived and worked in the town, but due to dwindling lumber supply Passaconaway didn’t survive; by 1930 the last residents had passed away. The area where the Photos courtesy of whitemountainhistory.org town had once been was purchased by the U.S. Forest Service in 1961. ddddddddddd

Its 5,775 acres provide access to hiking trails, waterfalls, fishing, wildlife viewing, and spectacular mountain views. Be sure to stop in at the historic Willey House and site, the AMC’s Highland Center and keep your eyes peeled for the rock formation that looks just like an elephant’s head.

Fall Foliage Paradise

“The drive on New Hampshire’s Kancamagus Highway would be beautiful at any time of the year, but colorful fall foliage provides spectacular autumn views. We stopped at each of the scenic overlooks, Sabbaday Falls, Russell Colbath House, Rocky Gorge, Lower Falls, and the covered bridge. Each was beautiful and the subject of our many photos. The places that wowed us into spending the most time were Lower Falls and Rocky Gorge. We recommend planning to spend a whole day on the Kanc—give yourself time to linger at your favorite stops.”

RetiredTravelerTN Nashville, TN

Visited October 2016

you must do when traveling “the Kanc”

1. Scenic Overlooks When traveling along the Kanc, take time to stop at the scenic overlooks and enjoy the breathtaking mountain views and its history. 2. Rocky Gorge and Lower Falls Rocky Gorge is an easy walk along the Swift River to a footbridge that spans the river. Rocky Gorge has a 10' drop and rapids through the gorge. At Lower Falls, the river drops many feet over smooth granite rocks into a large pool. An ideal place to picnic, sun bathe, and swim. 3. The Albany Covered Bridge extends over the Swift River. It is one of a few bridges in the state still open to motor vehicles and pedestrians. 4. The Russell / Colbath House is owned and operated as a museum by the US White Mountain National Forest Service. Built in about 1831, it is the only surviving early homestead in the Swift River Valley. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Sabbaday Falls A gravel path approximately 1/4 mile, handicapped accessible, leads to an amazing 45' waterfall and gorge.

You’ve come to the right place! You can’t get more bang for your foliage buck than to hike up a mountain and see the autumn world spread out below. October is the perfect time to hike in the White Mountains, as the air is cooler, there isn’t as much foot traffic as in the summer, and the payoff at the top is incomparable! So lace up those hiking boots, grab your camera, and head for the hills!

Autumns Memories

The distinctive peak of Mt. Washington was first seen by explorers off the New Hampshire coast in 1524. Known to them as Agiocochook, Native Americans believed the summit to be the home of the Great Spirit. By foot, car or train, the 6,288' summit of Mount Washington is surprisingly accessible. Home to Mount Washington State Park, it is visited by more than 250,000 people each year from all over the world, to revel in the top-of-the-world views of New England, New York, Canada—even the Atlantic Ocean! The first footpath to the summit was carved out by Ethan Allen Crawford in 1819; today the Crawford Path is the oldest continually maintained footpath in the 106 Mount Washington

country. Visitors can drive up the Mt. Washington Auto Road or leave the driving to the cheerful—and informative—stage guides. The Mount Washington Cog Railway, the world’s first mountain climbing railroad, opened in 1869. Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeast and its weather is variable at any time. The record high temperature is 72°F; the record low, -47°F (without factoring in the wind chill!). With an average July temperature of 49°F, summer visitors can get a respite from warmer temperatures in the valleys below. When you come, do plan to bring a jacket, sturdy shoes and your camera!

The ponds, lakes and rivers of the White Mountains are excellent photo subjects, and a favorite of many local photographers. Most of these waterscapes are easy to reach, but some do require a hike. Tip: photograph lakes and ponds early in the morning or late afternoon at sunset when the water is calm.

The clear, cold water of the White Mountains region is ideal for trout fishing, and Brook, Brown, and Rainbow trout are abundant. Fishing licenses available online at nhfishandgame.com and at more than 275 license agents throughout the state.

Whether you are looking to swim, kayak, tube or just enjoy the tranquility and views, spending a day in one of the White Mountains rivers and ponds or cruising one of the lakes will leave you relaxed.

Nature’s Most Colorful Show Have you ever wondered why leaves change color? Very few places on earth have New Hampshire’s unique combination of fall weather, variety of tree species, and rugged terrain that makes for such spectacular “leaf peeping”. No one can predict exactly when the foliage will peak—that’s up to Mother Nature— but as a rule, from the end of September thru the second week in October, you can expect peak color in the White Mountains. Sometimes, however, due to unusual weather conditions, the colors last thru October.
