We had stopped in Littleton, NH as Jeff wanted to go to the Littleton Coin Company.\u00a0 But, we only planned to be there two nights and one full day on a Sunday.\u00a0 But, we found that the Littleton Coin Company isn\u2019t open on Sunday.\u00a0 Darn!\u00a0 We considered going there early Monday before we headed out but didn\u2019t really have time.<\/p>\n
So, we looked around for something else to do on Sunday.\u00a0 We discovered that we were very close to the White Mountains and Mt. Washington, the highest point in NH, and that there was a road to the very top of the mountain with an observatory.\u00a0 So we decided to drive up the mountain.\u00a0 NO!\u00a0 The road was closed as there was a car race happening.\u00a0 So, instead we took a drive through the White Mountains area which is very pretty!<\/p>\n
The whole area was formed by glaciers, and the owner at the RV park explained that the various narrow long ridges are called “notches”. \u00a0We drove through a couple, where there was mountains on either side and the space between would get more and more narrow until you were going through a very narrow notch – then it would open back up. \u00a0The movement of the glaciers past the mountains made some very interesting granite cliffs. \u00a0Here are some pictures of the Swift River and the granite mountain sides:<\/p>\n\n
