Old Man of the Mountain (historical rock formation)

The Old Man of the Mountain was a natural rock formation in New Hampshire resembling a human profile, with a prominent face and a distinctive beard. Located on Cannon Mountain, it was created by erosion over thousands of years, with the rock's joints and fractures shaping the appearance. The formation was a symbol of New Hampshire and a popular cultural landmark, attracting many visitors. Sadly, it collapsed in 2003 due to natural weathering. Its legacy remains an iconic representation of natural grandeur and the changing face of the landscape.
