Entering its 26th year, Seek the Peak remains Mount Washington Observatory’s largest annual fundraiser and one of the most recognized hiking events in the Northeast. Each summer, we bring together adventurers of all experience levels, outdoor enthusiasts, and supporters in a shared mission: to advance understanding of the natural systems that create Earth’s weather and climate. In 2026, Seek the Peak opens an exciting new chapter at Wildcat Mountain — a location deeply connected to Mount Washington. Hike anywhere, anytime this summer and join us on July 18th, 2026 from 4 to 7 p.m. for the Après Hike Celebration with mountain views from Wildcat’s Express chairlift, dinner and fun sponsored activities, gear prizes and raffles, and much more.
For a limited time, registration is 50% off—only $30! Plus, you’ll receive this year’s exclusive event t-shirt with signup. But hurry, this special pricing ends on April 12th. To learn more and register, visit seekthepeak.org.
If you’re traveling in for the event, we recommend our lodging partners Cranmore Mountain Lodge (promo code CML-PEAK) and Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriot, who are generously offering discounted pricing for Seek the Peak guests the weekend of July 18-20 for a limited time.
