The Sandwich Notch runs to the south of the White Mountains, and became a narrow trading route that linked Thornton and the Waterville Valley with the Sandwich. The rocky mountain path has vistas at several points for amazing beauty, perfect for seeing the first light of day. The old road takes you far from the stress of the modern world back to the complex, natural beauty of 200 years ago. The soft pink light of the mountain is both startling and unforgettable.
