Attractions 

The beautiful waterfall at the Basin, has at its base, a granite pothole 20 feet in diameter that was eroded 15,000 years ago while the North American ice sheet was melting. It has been smoothed by small stones and sand whirled around by the Pemigewasset River. Below the Basin is a water-eroded rock formation called the Old Man's foot. A short walk through the woods along the Basin-Cascade Path, are a long series of cascades and open ledges leading to Kinsman Falls. These are well worth the extra effort and time to visit. The view from the Kinsman Cascade across the valley to the Mt. Liberty is the best vantage point to see the profile of "George Washington lying in state".

The first passenger aerial tramway in North America began operation on this site in 1938. Almost 7 million passengers were carried to the top by the first tram. Tram II was completed in 1980, and today, you can take a scenic 5-minute ride in one of two enclosed cable cars to the 4,180-foot summit of Cannon Mountain and enjoy panoramic views of the distant valleys and mountains. Each tram car has a capacity of 80 persons and ascends 2,022 feet vertically over a horizontal distance of more than one mile. Walking trails to a summit observation platform leave from the tram station. A gift shop and cafeteria are located in the tram base station. Cannon Mountain Ski Area, a favorite among skiers, has 26 miles of trails and slopes for both the beginner and experienced. Cannon is the home of the New England Ski Museum, which is located near the base of the tramway. It is open daily from 10:00-4:00, and is on the same seasonal schedule as the tramway. For more information on Cannon Mountain Ski Area.

The original "little train that could", the Mount Washington Cog Railway has been climbing to the summit of Mt. Washington since July 3, 1869. The track runs along a steep, 3.1 mile long trestle whose maximum gradient is over 37%, making it the second steepest mountain climbing train in the world. The only railroad on earth whose entire run is built on a trestle, the "Cog" takes visitors on a timeless adventure to the summit at 6288' in elevation. Open May-November.

Nine mile long state park through the notched pass between the Kinsman Mountain Range on the west and Franconia Ridge on the east. The park was home to the Old Man of the Mountain for thousands of years until his collapse in 2003- and remains forever the state symbol of New Hamphire. All attractions and state park activities, most famous for winter sports on Cannon Mt. and its hiking trails year round, are exits from I-93, the only 2-way interstate highway in America because of this most famous of NH's five mountain notches. Exits lead to Profile Lake; a clear body of water (the headwaters of the Pemigewasset River) directly below the Old Man of the Mountain often called the Old Man's Washbowl. Echo Lake; a beautiful lake at an elevation of 1,931 feet, offers swimming, fishing, and small boat access, as well as views of Mt.

Historic St. Matthew’s is an Episcopal summer chapel in the White Mountains that holds Sunday services during July, August, and the first Sunday in September at 10:00am. This Chapel is one of New England’s most photographed Landmarks. Built in 1893 and originally painted  dark red, the interior paneling and cathedral ceiling in natural wood has mellowed to a beautiful soft patina, Three of the stain glass window were brought from a church on Long Island; one  attributed to Tiffany, and two others are equally exquisite representations of stain glass art work of that era.  The Chapel’s delicate architectural design featuring very narrow width and very high steeple in this picturesque country setting draws photographers from everywhere.  Inquiries for weddings or other special services for up to 125 persons are invited.
