Mount Washington
The Highest Peak in the Northeast
Mount Washington is your gateway to all this American icon has to offer. At the base you can enjoy the Glen View café, and the Red Barn Museum of Auto Road history featuring stagecoaches from the 1800’s up through today.
Take a guided tour in an Auto Road van with an experienced and knowledgeable driver and learn about the mountain’s ecology, history, legends, and lore. Or you can drive your own vehicle and receive an audio tour on cassette or CD - AND the world famous "THIS CAR CLIMBED MT. WASHINGTON" bumper sticker!
The Auto Road is the oldest manmade attraction in America. Guided tours in Auto Road vans are available from 8:30 am until 5 pm and take approximately 2 hours round trip including 1 hour on the summit. Just 25 scenic minutes north of North Conway village on Rt. 16 in Pinkham Notch.
