Not everything in New Hampshire is little though. Mount Washington is in New Hampshire. Mount Washington is the biggest mountain in the northeast United States. On top of the mountain, the weather is very bad. The wind is often very strong. Once the wind on Mount Washington was measured to be 213 miles per hour. New Hampshire has many other mountains. On one of the mountains is a rock formation called "The Old Man in the Mountain." The rocks looked like the profile of a person's face. The formation fell apart in 2003.
