View from northbound Franconia Notch Parkway
[Photo taken while driving of the whitish rocky mountain range with trees at lower levels towering over the two-lane roadway. with several vehicle a ways ahead of me.]

Cannon Cliff (The largest cliff in the northeast at 1.5 miles long and peaking at 1,000 feet.)
[PhoSeveral photos stitched to create a panoramic view of this sparsely vegetated white-grey cliff side.]

Lots of rocky hillsides in this area
[Two photos stitched together showing craggy grey mountainous outcroppings with lots of greenery growing at lower levels.]

The Notch in Franconia Notch State Park
[The low point where two mountains meet creating a green vee since both are covered with trees.]

Ski slopes in Franconia Notch State Park (Seen through the not-perfectly-clean windshield of my sedan.)
[Several green expansions of grass in meandering patterns down the hillside through the vast expanse of trees.]

Tree roots on the Roaring River Memorial Nature (RRMN) Trail in the park
[From base of tree to approximately five foot from it across the trail path, tree roots are visible in the dirt.]

A canopy of yellow birch leaves on the RRMN Trail
[Looking up through the trees and only seeing details of the light green leaves which overlap in a few places.]

Saw this on the RRMN Trail and wondered what was tree trunk and what was tree root?
[Tree with a trunk which seems to start about 5 feet in the air as it appears the roots grow up into the tree trunk.]

Trees on the RRMN Trail
[A forest of tree trunks on a leaf-laden hillside. Most of the tree vegetation can only be seen near the top of the photo.]

Pine Bridge over water leading to The Pool on the Flume trail.
[A covered wooden bridge at least 30 feet above the boulders lining the path of the water heading downstream. Green vegetation lines both hillsides.]

Pine Bridge was originally built in 1939.
[Image taken on the trail just before the all wooden covered bridge showing the date and name of the bridge on the roof portion under which people walk.]

The Pemigewasset River covered bridge on the Flume trail was originally built in 1886.
[Covered bridge with a red end-cap used for buses transporting visitors to the Flume. To the left and outside of it is an uncovered wooden walkway for pedestrians.]

The underside of the Pemigewasset River covered bridge
[The wooden peg joints and wood trusses of the bridge.]
