In Terminal E at Boston's Logan Airport, I had just returned from a month in Russia and heard someone comment that "the old man has fallen". An EMT with experience of elderly falls, I looked around and inquired where this person might be. No, "The Old Man of the Mountains in Franconia" came the quick response. As this information began...

My title says it all. I lived in New England from the time I was 15 until I was 57, and I never saw the attraction. We would stop while we were driving elsewhere, and I would see this rock profile. Ho hum. I can find profiles of people just about anywhere-the Old man just had better PR. Now that...

I had seen the Old Man of the Mountain when I was very young. So I was upset to hear it had disappeared. I had wanted to show my son. We walked the very nice path to the lake and read all the stones and signs. They have a way for you to look up at the mountain and see...

Don't listen to the brochures! He is NOT back! Unfortunately I never got to see the real Old Man, but what they have added here now is a joke. It is not a far walk if you want to at least see where he used to be. The mountains and lake are still pretty. But what they've done is added...

The old man is gone! The view is nothing special compared to the others in the area. The history is nice, but really isn't worth the time to stop.
The rock face with the red maple at the base is a NE site not to miss. The park at the base has much information about the area
A lot has been done to commemorate the Old Man at Profile Plaza. Particularly appealing are the "profilers" that form the image of the Old Man on the cliff where he once stood.
My wife and I both were looking for the “repaired” man in the mountain. Well its more of a memorial than anything else. A walk along a path alongside the highway and well that’s all. Disappointing, should not be a destination and really not worth the stop.
I have been visited the Old Man site for at least 30 years. I miss the Old Man! It's still worth the visit because the lake is beautiful and I enjoy walking to the site. The memorial is very nice. There's a lot to see and read about its history.
A must see .They have recreated what it was like to see the Old Man on the shore of Profile Lake . Stop and see the history of this amazing work of mother nature that was taken from us but still lives in the hearts of those who have seen him
