@wanderbymaria: Hidden deep in the White Mountains lies one of New Hampshire’s most mysterious places — Lost River Gorge & Boulder Caves. 🌲💧 Formed over 300 million years ago during the Ice Age, massive glaciers carved through the granite, creating a maze of caves, waterfalls, and shadowy passageways. When early explorers stumbled upon it in 1852, they found a stream that seemed to disappear underground — giving rise to the name “Lost River.” In the 1800s, this region was also home to thriving logging and mining mills that powered New Hampshire’s early economy. Workers harvested timber for the mills and mined the surrounding hills for minerals, but nature eventually reclaimed the land — leaving behind a place that feels both wild and ancient. Today, walking through the gorge feels like stepping into another time — wooden boardwalks winding between giant boulders, crystal-clear water rushing beneath your feet, and echoes of the past whispering through the caves. 🌿✨ #autumn #newhampshire #fall #whitemountains #nature
