Cannon Mountain (formerly Profile Mountain) is a 4,100 foot (1,250 m) peak in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

9 Franconia Notch, Franconia, NH 03580.

Known for both its technical rock and ice climbing (particularly on Cannon Cliff) and its skiing (the state-owned Cannon Mountain Ski Area), the mountain was home to the Old Man of the Mountain until the formation collapsed on May 3, 2003.
