Mt. Washington Auto Road

This is the beginning of the Mount Washington Auto Road, which is an option for reaching the summit if you don't care for the incredible adventure of hiking it. Also, if you do hike to the summit but things go awry and you can't hike back, you can hop on a shuttle (with your dog!) that will you drop you off here, at the entrance, from which point you're on your own to get back to wherever you've parked.

What a magical place Mt. Washington is!! Was not expecting to be so nervous on the "double lane" road that leads up to the summit mountain camp, 8 miles in total but at least 4 are extremely dangerous travel on tight mountain roads with certain death if u happen to go off the side.. Leading to a elevation around 6300 feet, the highest point in the north east!!!

Mount Washington
The mountain is notorious for its erratic weather. On the afternoon of April 12, 1934, the Mount Washington Observatory recorded a windspeed of 231 miles per hour at the summit, the world record for most of the 20th century. # nature
