Mt Washington state Park is just an awe. We went to the summit by cog railway and the journey was slow and really good. The summit is extremely windy always and winds pushing us. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There is a general store and museum. Hot drinks and soups are available in the store. It's a must visit place.
Between the tram and the auto road, this place is a zoo of people. After hiking half the presidential traverse, you hardly want to bother with this summit for all the people. Still, the amenities are nice (water, hot food if you want, bathrooms). Happy hiking!
Took Cog Railway to summit. Views are amazing. Main building has small museums. Only two dollars for admission. Bring quarters for telescope and $ for food from small cafeteria. Coffee, hot chocolate & chilli dogs available. Cafeteria is cash only. Gift shop takes debit/credit cards. You can visit older building to see how early staff lived before modern conveniences. Line for taking pictures at highest point on mountain, but, it moves at a good pace. Multiple levels to visit. Bring hoodie if visiting in fall.
Always a great place to visit. The trekking trails are good too. The ones on the mountain top can be tough due to the hard terrain. But they're more fun as long as you know what you're getting in to. Tried the cog railway this time. It was a nice experience as a first timer but looking at the cost benefit, may not go again.
Great, challenging hike. Beautiful views. My new favorite place.
I like to ascend by taking Boot Spur to Davis. It’s a little longer than the Ravine Trail, but it’s quieter and has some great views.
Beautiful scenery. The trees were just starting to turn colors.
Mt Washington is one of the best mountains. It has nice rest area, water pump many trails.
Nice place to visit. Check out the status before you go there.
Had a fantastic day hike up Tuckerman's Ravine and down Lion's Head. About 8hr total, with a nice cup of coffee at the top. Very busy day; full of hikers, but it didn't make the trails feel crowded at all.
We were on top of the world! It was quite a surreal experience being literally in the clouds. A+++ Experience here.
Amazing place to visit, it was foggy so our views weren't too great and it made for some dicey corners when another car was coming down at the same time as you're going up. Still a really fun drive in the middle of leaf season and worth the money.
The views area amazing. Hiked up Tuckermans Ravine. Nice challenging hike.My only complaint is that after the hike you arrive at the summit with people who drove up and have to wait in line with them to take a photo at the sign. The place is too commercialized at the top.
Worth the trip every time. I've been up to the top riding the cog rail, a minivan, and a motorcycle. All three were enjoyable rides. The Tip Top house is always interesting and you've always got a gentle breeze here.
This mountain is truly beautiful. We took a van tour instead of driving ourselves so my husband could enjoy the views which are truly amazing. Tour guide was excellent giving us the history. Mt Washington is a must see. ✔ off on our bucket list.
The hike up is incredible. We hiked the Tuckerman Ravine trail. Its not an easy hike up to the ranger's cabins at the halfway point, but do able. After that, it goes strait up. The one major thing to keep in mind is the altitude change. I live a little above sea level, and the hike finishes at above 6200 ft. I'm a fairly intense hiker, but I had a really hard time breathing at the end. All that being said, the views as you ascend are amazing. Definitely worth doing once. Be sure to read up on the hike and the suggested routes up. Bring a good backpack with lots of water and high energy foods. Be safe. People get hurt, and some die, every year on the mountain.
