Franconia Notch State Park (The Flume Gorge)

I will never forget about my drive on my way to the Flume Gorge. Driving between the white mountains is an experience I will never forget. And of course, I will never forget the panic attack I had while driving without phone service, for one hour, with nothing else than woods. (I get panic attacks because I become easily disoriented) The landscape was amazing, no doubt that New Hampshire is one of the states with the best mountains on the East Coast.

Old Man of the Mountains in Franconia, New Hampshire.

The Old Man of the Mountains was a famous natural rock formation located in Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire. It was a distinctive profile of a man’s face, created by a series of granite ledges and boulders. This iconic landmark was a symbol of New Hampshire and appeared on the state’s quarter and license plates.

Sadly, this great stone face collapsed in 2003, due to erosion and weathering. Despite its loss, it remains a significant part of New Hampshire’s history and identity, and efforts were made to commemorate it, including a memorial site and a viewing area at Franconia Notch State Park. #newhampshire #rppc #whitemountains #oldmanofthemountain #Franconia #vintagepostcards

PA's is valid but NH is a little confusing. The man in the mountain doesn't exist anymore, and it's been gone since like 2002. By that logic, the world trade center would be NY's worst attraction.

Franconia notch and profile lake is absolutely lovely, though. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been too/hiked in.

The Worst Attraction in Every State

There is something about driving through

The White Mountains national forest before 11:00am

when stretches of its road are filled with clouds poured into them and

The hillsides are starting to catch fire with the turning autumn leaves that tastes like the Blue Ridge.

Not the same, but close enough.

The Flume Gorge

Overall it wasn't a bad hike, but we got to a point where we had to get into very steep stairs and rocks were falling, so we made the decision to do not continue the hike.
