"The White Mountains are ancient, older than the Rockies and the Himalayas, www.montshire.org and are home to long extinct volcanoes and an ocean basin," said Kate Wetherell, AUGUST 2013 | SUMMER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE | PAGE 7 General Manger at Lost River Gorge, who holds a degree in Geology. One of the many informational signs throughout the gorge points out a pegmatite dike, a striking, jagged vein of white rock spearing through the darker host boulder; a direct result of superheated volcanic fluid finding its way through fissures in the granite. This stony witness tells a story of unimaginable upheaval that took place here over 300 million years ago. "People have so much fun investigating the gorge and boulder caves, that they don't realize they are learning something about the region's geologic past," continued Wetherell. All young explorers, ages four through twelve, have the opportunity to become Junior Gorge Guides through an entertaining and educational program offered at the attraction. By reading and understanding signs posted throughout Lost River, they are able to answer questions listed on a quiz card they receive at the beginning of their quest.

  • Chapter Eight
    Chapter 8: TRANSPORTATION Almost all of the transportation in Ossipee involves automobiles, therefore the network of roads is very important. State highway Route 16 goes north and south the entire length of Ossipee. There are three important intersections: West Ossipee, at the intersection of Route 16 and 25 West, in Center Ossipee, the intersection with Route 25E, and in Ossipee, the intersection of Route 16 and 28. Route 16 is also used extensively by people traveling to other parts of the state. These are often tourists or vacationers who stop for travel necessities like food and gasoline. The easy access has fostered commercial development of businesses and small industries. Other parts of the route are scenic and undeveloped. Although much of Route 16 is zoned Commercial and Roadside Commercial or Commercial Node, most residents of Ossipee want this entrance to Ossipee to be rural and attractive. The increasing amount of traffic and the need to keep the traffic flowing are factors to be considered. Recent attempts to keep the number of accidents down include the installation of traffic lights at the intersections of Route 16 and 25W and Route 16 and Route 28. The establishment of the Corridor Zone is intended to keep low volume traffic businesses along the highway, and high traffic businesses like fast food restaurants at the intersections. Another attempt to keep traffic moving, emphasized in the NH Route 16 Corridor Study, was the need to limit the number of accesses onto the highway. The intention is to encourage the creation of shared access roads to and from the highway, instead of multiple separate driveways, so that several places use the same access.
