A deep mountain pass in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, between Cannon Mountain and the Franconia Range. Interstate 93 runs eight miles through it as the Franconia Notch Parkway, inside the 6,692-acre state park.

It is the only stretch of interstate in the United States narrowed to a single lane in each direction. The 1980s compromise traded a full freeway for protecting Profile Lake and the cliff that held the Old Man of the Mountain.

The five-ledge granite profile that gave the cliff above Profile Lake the look of a face roughly forty feet tall collapsed on the night of May 3, 2003, after an estimated 12,000 years in place.

An 800-foot natural gorge cut into Conway granite, walled by sheer rock seventy to ninety feet high. A boardwalk runs the length of it from a visitor centre at the south end of the parkway, open seasonally.

A glacial pothole about thirty feet across, polished smooth by the Pemigewasset River. It sits a short walk from a parkway pull-off and has drawn visitors since Henry David Thoreau described it in 1839.

Yes. The Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway has run since 1938 and was rebuilt in 1980. It climbs 2,022 vertical feet from the parkway to the 4,080-foot summit in about seven minutes.

Yes. The Old Man was the state emblem from 1945 and remains on the New Hampshire state quarter. A Medium or Large with a handwritten note from the studio carries well for anyone who grew up driving the notch.

The granite-and-spruce palette settles into mountain-modern, lodge, and New England farmhouse interiors. It also lifts a Scandinavian room as the warmer grounding piece, against pale oak and wool.

Yes. The piece reads alongside the current alpine-modern run, where granite, oiled wood, and dark steel are lead materials. A Large above a fireplace anchors an open room well.

Above a console table, a single Large reads well. Above a standard sofa, a four-tile Mural or a nine-tile Mural carries the wall. The Medium is the gallery-wall workhorse.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and stand up to steam and splash on a backsplash or shower wall. The Glossy finish is for dry walls and framed pieces.

A microfibre cloth and water. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, so it cannot wipe off. Skip abrasives and ammonia-heavy cleaners.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is painted by the studio and produced in-house in Knoxville, Tennessee. No licensing, no third-party prints, one eye behind the catalogue.
