The above pictures are from the Notch, an amazingly beautiful gorge created by a receding glacier, in the White Mountains about three hours north of us. The pictures are self-explanatory and were all taken on the same two-hour hike where we walked up the "flume". What you don't see in the pictures are when I freaked out because I thought the granite walls were closing in on me and ran up the stairs. That was a really unpleasant couple of minutes, but I quickly recovered in time to do a brilliant bear impersonation. (Note: PLEASE click on each picture to see them enlarged.) We hope you enjoy them.

Franconia Notch -- here's a bit o' trivia for you -- a "Notch" is what people in most places would call a "pass" or a depression between two mountains. Oddly, in NH, it is a "Notch". In Vermont, on the other side of the mighty Connecticut River, the same thing is called a "Gap".
Two similar states, one upside down, but very different!
