The Flume Gorge
The Flume is a natural gorge extending 800 feet at the base of Mt. Liberty. The Flume was discovered in 1808 by 93-year old "Aunt" Jess Guernsey when she accidently came upon it while fishing.

The entrance was beautiful, with this little waterfalls and stream.
We watched the video about the Flume and heard the story of the Old Man in the Mountain, that attracted early visitors. This plate shows the Old Man in the Mountain, which collapsed May 3rd, 2003. It has been the emblem of New Hampshire since 1945.
The walk to the Flume is two miles.
We first came to Table Rock. Over time, the rushing waters of the Flume Brook has exposed this large out cropping of rock. Table Rock is a section of Conway granite that is 500 feet long and 75 feet wide.
The Boardwalk allows you to look closely at the the gorge.
It was many steps to the top of the Flume, as you can see no easy climb.
What a spectacular waterfall, we found at the top.
This is to boast that I made it.
