Observatory Tours
What better way to understand what goes into a forecast for the summit of Mount Washington? Take an Observatory tour! Learn from the folks that experience some of the harshest weather as well as witness some of the most spectacular views and moments of weather phenomena happening at 6,288 feet. Here, at the Mount Washington Observatory, you'll see what it takes to measure and record weather that makes national headlines.
To schedule an Observatory tour, please call ahead at (603) 356-2137 ext. 211. Tours of our summit weather observatory are free for members of the Mount Washington Observatory. Non-members are charged $7 per person (minimum group of eight and maximum group of fifteen).
(Please note that those who are taking part in tours are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from the summit. The normal season for the Mount Washington Cog Railway and Mount Washington Auto Road (a toll road) is approximately mid-May to mid- or late October, weather permitting. Those who are properly prepared may be able to visit the summit at any time of year, but any one considering a trip on foot to and from the summit should be aware of the substantial challenges and dangers which such a trip can present).
