Nestled in the heart of the White Mountains, Cannon Mountain in New Hampshire is a treasure trove of outdoor adventure, natural beauty, and historical significance. Known for its breathtaking vistas and rugged terrain.
It’s perhaps best known for the iconic Old Man of the Mountain, a series of five granite cliff ledges that, when viewed from a specific angle, resembled the profile of an old man. Though the Old Man sadly collapsed in 2003, its legacy lives on, with a dedicated memorial at the base of the mountain and a strong place in the heart of New Hampshire.
One of the highlights of a visit to Cannon Mountain is the Aerial Tramway. This unique experience allows visitors to glide up 2,022 feet in under 10 minutes, with unparalleled views of the White Mountains, Vermont’s Green Mountains, and even Canada on a clear day. At the summit, visitors can explore short walking trails, take in the views from observation decks, and enjoy a picnic with a view.
I was a bit apprehensive about the tram, heights are just not my thing, but with some handholding of my Hero I made it though the quick trip up. Coming down was much easier. Oh the views…worth it!
A Day of Small Things... 
I wasn’t so sure about riding the tram up since I don’t like heights either but we did have a beautiful clear day and could see for miles in every direction. We were there very early in spring though so once off the tram at the top there wasn’t anything to do since everything was still snowy and closed up. It was still worth the ride up though!
