Description

Mist Over the Mountains by Karen Cook - A heavy mist lingers over the Willey Slide Picnic Park in Crawford Notch State Park, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This lovely and tranquil area was named in memory of the Willey family who lost their lives in a landslide.

The Willey Family of 7 and their hired hands were killed in a landslide in 1826. They had fled their home in a vain attempt to outrun the landslide. Ironically, the house was left unscathed by the slide but the entire family perished in the tragedy.

It is now a state historical site on Route 302 in Crawford Notch New Hampshire and is a peaceful area for picnics, walking trails and nature lovers.
