Crotched Mountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crotched Mountain is a small, isolated mountain in western Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, in the United States. The 2,066-foot (630 m) summit of the mountain is in the town of Francestown, while the western slopes of the mountain rise in the town of Bennington, and a long southern ridge of the mountain is in Greenfield. The mountain was named for its appearance. Early settlers thought its V-shaped peaks resembled the fork or "crotch" of a tree.[1]
The Crotched Mountain Ski & Ride occupies the northern slopes of the mountain, and the Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center occupies a portion of the mountain's southern ridge in Greenfield.
