Additional Details:
No one spot in the whole White Mountain region excels in beauty, grandeur and tourist interest the idyllic glen which holds the new Profile House. Since the year 1852 there has been a hotel of excellence on this site, which was entirely rebuilt and remodeled in 1906. The Eagle cliffs rise precipitously before the house in a height of 1472 feet above the road. Close by is the dainty Echo Lake, and a short distance from the house is obtained a grand view of that cardinal wonder of the White Mountains. The Profile, from which the hotel receives its name.
