There is a new monument to the Old Man, a series of projections on an iron rod that, when viewed from just the right angle, makes it looks like he still lives up on that mountain peak.
This is what enables us to 'see' him again.

The "New" Old Man of the Mountains
The favorite tourist attraction in New Hampshire when I was a kid was always the Old Man of the Mountains. Located on Cannon Mountain, it was always a great site to see the Old Man sitting on top of the mountain, watching over New Hampshire. On May 3, 2003, the unthinkable happened - the Old Man was no more. Sometime during the night, he slipped away, falling into the rubble of rocks hundreds of feet below his perch.

This is what enables us to 'see' him again.
