I got to drive to the top of Mount Washington. There's a road that's 7.6 miles long with an average grade of 12%. It's can get real narrow as well at times. There were pull offs to see the views up to the top. Once at the top if it wasn't for the clouds I could've seen much more.
Starting at the bottom to the top
The viewing deck at the top
Hikers who are hiking all the peaks along the range. The Appalachian trail runs along these peaks so some of these guys are in for the long haul.
Train which you can take for to the top.
At the summit at 6288 ft
House where the hikers can have a place to sleep if they want to
One of the original buildings at the top. The building is actually chained down to the ground. It's chained down for good reasons, the highest wind speed in the world was recorded here at 231 MPH in 1934.
