there doesn't appear to be an attachment, but i wanted to say that is one of my favorite places in the US, i used to ski tuckerman's ravine on that mountain, and wildcat across the way. the entire white mountain area is beautiful in all seasons. here is a photo of Mt. Washington, the big bowl is tuckerman's ravine, there is no ski lift, you hike up, and the ravine contains 90 degree terminal drops, they don't call it terminal for nothing! WHOO HOO!!

I shouldn't have asked because it was a rhetorical question. Geology being a part of my background tells me that the White Mountains are a part of the Appalachian mountains. I have come to realize that the different states that have this range within their boundaries have given them their own particular names e.g. Catskills, Great Smoky Mountains etc. It wasn't a trick question. Just asking because...? :thinking:

I appreciate your reply.

Ahhh.. I see.. partially my fault though too. When I think of the Appalachian range.. I automatcially think of the appalachian trail.. and that enters thru southern VT.. then turns east at bout mid state, crosses NH into Maine and then terminates on Katadin in Baxter state park...

Soo.. could be confusion on my end too...
