The Old Man of the Mountain has been an icon for the state of New Hampshire for many years. Even despite it’s fall in 2003, the Old Man of the Mountain remains an iconic symbol for the State of NH. The image of the Old Man of the Mountain remains New Hampshire state emblem to this day. The Old Man of the Mountain sat 1,200 feet above Profile Lake at the base of Cannon Mountain and was 40′ tall by 25 feet wide. Daniel Webster, a New Hampshire native wrote a tribute to the Old Man of the Mountain: “Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades; shoe makers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but up in the Mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there he makes men.”

Iconic NH The Old Man of the Mountain, also known as the Great Stone Face or the Profile,[1] was a series of five granite cliff ledges on Cannon Mountain in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, United States, that appeared to be the jagged profile of a face when viewed from the north. The rock formation was 1,200 feet (370 m) above Profile Lake, and measured 40 feet (12 m) tall and 25 feet (7.6 m) wide. The site is located in the town of Franconia. The first recorded mention of the Old Man was in 1805. It collapsed on May 3, 2003.[2] There is still a view point parking area, and Franconia Notch is beautiful to drive through or stop and visit Franconia Notch State Park.
