My wife and I took a few days off in New Hampshire and while we were there took the cog railway to the top of the mountain. Mount Washington is the tallest peak in The Northeast. On a clear day you can see several states. There is also an auto road that I drove once and told myself I’d never do again. No guardrails and a new set of brakes when you’re back down.
It was super clear the day we went but at 34 degrees and 60 mph winds we didn’t venture out of the summit building for too long.
I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story

Did that. Beautiful going up most of the way. At the summit house you could not see the train from it. On the way down beautiful again.

My wife chose the day wisely. It’s foggy a lot. Four weather systems collide there.
I’ve been to Dodge City. Quite a difference in terrain!

We were on a tour and that was the day. Day before and day after were clear.

Thanks for the pics Mau. I've never been there nor knew about the tallest peak in the Northeast. Just another reason to like this site. " The Sharing "

That’s why I posted it. I know there are men that will never get there or might want to if they saw the pics. I love seeing pictures of different places in the US.

Thanks for sharing, my wife and I were in New Hampshire on a road trip but didn't go there. She would have loved it. It is really beautiful

Been there a couple times as a kid. Seems like it’s always blowing there. Mount Washington's famous wind gust of 231 mph, recorded on April 12, 1934 at the Mount Washington Observatory, stands as the record for the fastest surface wind measured in the Northern and Western Hemispheres. I think the observatory is new but I still remember being there. Thanks for pics!

It sure is different above the tree line. At the bottom of the mountain it was 85 degrees

There are. It all starts to look a little surreal.

Awesome views
Less than half the height of your mountains but I guess there’s something to be said for being amble to ride up it.

Beautiful pictures Mark. In all these years I've never been up there. New Hampshire is a gorgeous state and probably the freest one left. Thanks for sharing buddy.
