Easton: Cannon Mountain

5 44.16°, -71.70°
About location

Developed around a pioneering aerial tramway, Cannon Mountain grew into a state-run ski area above Franconia Notch in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. The original Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway began service in 1938 as North America’s first passenger aerial tramway; its successor still carries passengers toward the 4,080-foot summit. Cannon’s slopes lie within Franconia Notch State Park, between the Kinsman and Franconia ranges. The mountain is also the site of the Old Man of the Mountain, a granite profile that served as New Hampshire’s state emblem until its collapse in 2003. The mountain has long been a fixture of New England skiing.

City Easton

Among the towns of New Hampshire, Easton stands out for its quiet valley on the Wild Ammonoosuc River, framed by the White Mountains. The river runs west through this small Grafton County community, while Kinsman Notch and forested high ground define its eastern side. Incorporated in 1876, Easton retains the scale of a rural New England town rather than the resort density found in some nearby mountain centres. Its valley roads connect with the wider Ammonoosuc watershed and the hiking country of the White Mountain National Forest. Place Easton within the broader White Mountains by browsing webcams nearby.

New Hampshire
Region New Hampshire

New Hampshire occupies a mountainous inland position in the northeastern United States. The White Mountains define much of its northern character, culminating at Mount Washington, whose summit is famed for severe and rapidly changing weather. Southward, the Merrimack River links former mill cities including Manchester and Nashua, while Lake Winnipesaukee anchors the Lakes Region with wooded shores and island-dotted water. The state’s compact scale brings ski country, forest roads, historic seaports and New England town centres within reach of one another. Granite quarrying helped give New Hampshire its familiar nickname, the Granite State. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across New Hampshire.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
