The Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire is a spectacular 12 to 20 foot wide slash in the Earth. The sides are granite that was fractured, then pushed aside by molten basalt, which cooled before it reached the surface and became lava. The basalt eroded faster than the granite to form the gorge. The 2 mile walk into and around the gorge and falls is fascinating and beautiful.

After the Flume, we rode the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway to spectacular views and a little early snow!
