Another Beautiful Week on the Summit!

This shift has been exceptionally beautiful, with clear weather for the majority of the shift so far. With the Mount Washington Auto Road and Mount Washington Cog Railway fully open, we’re sharing this beautiful weather with many visitors to the summit as well!
