The narrow opening that gives this view its name marks the entrance to Crawford Notch, a pass through the White Mountains of New Hampshire where steep granite walls close in around the road and the river below. Travelers were drawn to the gorge from the early 1800s, when the Crawford family kept an inn and guided visitors through it. The 1826 landslide that destroyed the Willey House and killed the family living there made the notch a place of lasting, sober renown. Railroad tracks laid through the pass in the 1870s later brought a new wave of tourists to see the same walls from the train.
