What's your elevation?

[MtnMagic]

According to this website, Bethlehem Village elevation is 1380 ft with the highest elevation being 4761 ft (North Twin Mt). More than half the Town of Bethlehem lies within the 780,000 acre White Mountains National Forest.

Each year, more people visit the White Mountains National Forest than visit Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks combined. Bethlehem is home to the longest continually running movie theater in the United States! The historic Colonial Theater shows movies nightly through the summer.

In terms of land area (90.8 sq. miles!), Bethlehem is the second largest municipality in New Hampshire (with a population of only 2152).

How can one have a "location" in Franconia yet reside in Bethlehem? Inquiring minds want to know!

.....I live in Bethlehem, but I work in Franconia, at Cannon Mountain Ski Area, which is my "second home", since I am here so much, especially in the winter, when I am here even on my days off! When I post to AZ, it is usually from Franconia. It's only a ten minute drive from my home to my work. Now you know!

Cannon is on my short list this season...I will be picking your brain for info as Feb/Mar approaches.

Thank you for clearing up the puzzle!

I used to love hiking up the steep, paved road to the summit of Mt Agassiz and the great views. It's been a few years and I remember it to be quite a huff & puff and a thigh burner.

Bethlehem is, "The Star of the White Mountains!"

1750', though TOPO had no idea where I was talking about! Guess it helps if you at least have a post office....

My elevation is a breathtaking 105' according to my GPS unit.

My elevation is a breathtaking 105' according to my GPS unit.

How are you at a higher elevation then me? :wink:

 

[loafer89]

My town hall is officially listed at 98' and that is located downhill from me, so 105' sound about right.

 

[ALLSKIING]

Well..I guess you do live near Bald Hill. :lol:

 

[loafer89]

Smithtown, which is the next town over from me is listed at 73', while East Northport (near the high point on Long Island) is listed at 228'.

My GPS unit indicated 125' at my house, but the unit has an error margin of 20', so I take my elevation to be 105'
