Description
These overlapping layers of autumn color-bedecked trees were captured from my favorite vantage point above Crawford Notch in New Hampshire's White Mountains.
The Saco River flows through here and has created this dramatic gorge. Us Highway 302, which runs roughly parallel to the river, takes you through Crawford Notch and some of New Hampshire's most dramatic scenery. The notch was named after Abel Crawford, a famous guide and innkeeper in the 19th century. It is historically significant for a rock slide that took place in 1826 and wiped out the entire family of Samuel Willey. This tragic event has been immortalized in writing and in visual art and has been alluded to in Thomas Cole's famous painting "The Notch of the White Mountains."
