My family owns a small cottage in vermont near the Canadian border and we pass through the notch on our drive up from northern Massachusetts. In the winter, there’s the weather before the notch (usually much more mild) the weather in the notch, (I’ve seen icicles frozen on highway signs horizontally and it was the first place And only place I’ve ever seen trees fight each other) and then the weather after the notch, which was usually a snowy run off of whatever you just drove through. It’s a different world in there.

I learnt so much from this lecture. Thank you for sharing this content

I love The Flume! Anyone who gets to go there,I hope they bring a camera 📸!

It’s quite moving how the Old Man is still spoken of as an unseen presence, or a grandparent who has passed on.

hello ladies i enjoyed the mnt and you had gator aid for me on the way down

Thinking about going to visit today. Will Emily and her friend be there? Just asking! ☺

I live in indiana and was up in vermont for a time being. a few weeks ago i managed to hike a portion of mount liberty but had to turn around and head back after getting to a little over 4k ft up. I miss it there and I really want to hike the AT just to end up living in the northern areas of the US. My heart is in the mountains.

Invaded, and , conquered by leftist, pedophiles....stay clear of this commie stronghold!

I live in Bethlehem, a town next to Franconia....the beauty of this area is breath taking! I especially enjoyed hearing Gene Shepherd narrating this video!

As of 2024, the "new" tramway is as old as the original one, and efforts are underway to replace it. I rode the original tramway in 1953, and would love to go back, but alas, age has caught up with me, and even if a trip were possible, with my luck it would be closed for rebuilding!😁

Not Pet Friendly. Expected better NH!

I was there today

Chick is hot !!! 🔥

Gorgeous videos!

Wow, that wasn’t helpful at all. Can I get it mansplained please?

l can't recall the very first time l saw the Old Man of the Mountain, but l could have been as young as 5. l'm 68 now. My family lived in South Dartmouth, MA, and we'd sail and hike [mostly NH] in the summer and ski, frequently in the Franconia Notch area, in the winter. Even in crappy weather one could see the Old Man. The most memorable rock landmark of my childhood. When we were sailing out of Padanaram Harbor, the most prominent manmade navigational aid was the MIT radio telescope at Round Hill. Seems like wherever one was in Buzzards Bay, you could see it, like a steel mushroom. Why do l bring this up? The demolition of the radio telescope and the collapse of the Old Man were just months apart. l'm still nostalgic/sad about both.

Someone needs to make a cg video showing what the National and State Park lands would look like if they were never protected from development!

Is it normal that I find this process very complicated and not comprehensible in the first try?

Thank you!

My grandmother brought us up to Bethlehem every year to ski at Bretton woods during February vacation, and every time we went up, my cousins and I would fight to get a view of the old man. Punching and pushing each other out of the way to cement our snotty faces against the windows of her Buick to see him, even when it was dark (the old man on a full moon was a sight to see). I was deployed to Iraq when the old man fell, and it was as equally doleful as anything else I had experienced that year. After getting out of the military, I have made northern New Hampshire my home, and I wander the mountains of Franconia Notch and still look up at where the old man stood watch. Every year I visit the old woman of the notch (The watcher), and talk to her about the old man while looking up at his place. The old man is still there in spirit, the ambience of that area is one of a kind and something I have never experienced anywhere else in my travels around the world.

The day a park ranger became an historic reenactor.

Is that Charles C talking. On the road again. Sunday morning. He long gone too. But remembered.

Old man in the mountain Face is long gone now. Always changing. 😢

Went here every summer in the 1950s with my parents grandparents and uncle /Antie. It’s true it changed every years and continues. Climbed mount Washington in 1991 with my boys. And my dog Fredo in 2016 Beautiful place. It always calls me back

i have family in new Hampshire the granite state 🏞

So it was 400 million years ago when this video was made, so it's now 400 million and 7 years ago

I saw the real thing about 50 years ago.

What do you think about Birchtoft to Cascade to Harlingen to Hinklynabd then back to the campground as an option for a moderate skill hike? Thx!

How long was this hike? Would you rate this loop closer to moderate since you avoided the summit hike? Thx!

There are many gun batteries built in 1942-44

Its been 20 years now. As a New Yorker, I am Privileged , and honored and humbled that I could say that I was a (New Englander) NH resident for 3 years (2002-2005). I am fortunate to have seen him and I am blessed that I was a NH resident when It happened. It hurt me too Captain. The first written mention of the Old Man was in 1805. The formation was first noted in the records of a Franconia surveying team around 1805. Francis Whitcomb and Luke Brooks, part of the surveying team, were the first two to record observing the Old Man. It became a landmark and a cultural icon for the state of New Hampshire. It collapsed on May 3, 2003. RIP Old Man (AKA "Stone Face")1805 - May 3, 2003. Ingrained the hearts and minds of all New Hampshire residents and the USA. 😢

kinda fishy these women who werent meant to be there happened to sabotage the old man rock when no one was there that day and we just have their word to believe apparently

Lol i do walk like that with my trash to the camp dumpster but i do dispose properly

I am so glad I was able to see it with my parents as a child. Great memories

This must be the first time this boy has walked with wet feet for a whole day. Bet he don't do it again.

These two chicks for president!

The old man in the mountain will always be missed 😔💔😭

I miss the old man of the mountain

Yall are so full of crap you ought to gobble like a Christmas turkey. It is all made up you don't know what you are talking about.

Absolutely loved this from start to end

So Douglas swam this huhh

we have visited twice and love it!

is that the video editing or are the waves over there really that slick?

And, have we in this country even built an Olympic ski jump of late or is it just cheaper to fly our jumpers to Europe for training, etc????

He fell, or so we assume 3 days before my son was born.

I grew up in the Ozarks have lived all over the place. Most recently I just moved to Texas from Cleveland Ohio and, wow, do I miss dense mountainous forests around me! Thank all that's holy, I married a man who loves adventure almost as much as I do and....I'm setting my sights at a long road trip to Bear Brook State Park (and everything along the way ;) ) Awesome video, Mr. Andrew!

Very good Video. I would always pay strict attention to something like that when I was camping alone in a place in the woods. But is it as necessary on proper campsites as KOA? I think there are more than 20 other campers all with food. It has to smell no matter what you do.

Gun pepper spray another gun and a rifle motion Detectors set to an alarm ⏰️ and you should be ok 😂

whats this song? love it!
