Take a walk through the Mount Washington Observatory weather station, and meet the summit staff that is charged with holding down the fort on this mountaintop. In addition, you’ll be able to explore the summit during the waning hours of a late summer day, culminating in a champagne toast on the observation deck at sunset!
