Mount Washington Observatory Day Trip

Mount Washington Observatory Day Trip

Mount Washington's summit is visited by a quarter-million people in summer, but its winter secrets are known only to a hardy few. When the Cog Railway and Mt. Washington Auto Road close for the season, the only way to access the peak is via a technical mountaineering ascent or a trip with the Mount Washington Observatory. Made possible by snow tractor transportation, these guided trips include informal educational sessions with an expert Observatory educator, a behind-the-scenes tour of the Observatory's weather station, a hot lunch, and all the famous weather extremes of this legendary mountain during its most demanding, most alluring season.   603-356-2137
