My fiance said we should not drive ourselves. She won out and we took the van. We thought it was going to rain so I was excited when we were able to see the top from the valley. We saw some clouds come in but were still excited as we thought we were going to make it to the top.... more

We went during fall season to see fall colors... I didnt know that from the top of the mountain(summit), I wont be able to see fall colors...I should have researched.... The drive up is a little challenging with no railings on the side and you need to constantly drive on lower gears.... So if you are not a confident driver... more

...not to be missed. (See my photos and video). Our small 11 year-old Neon took us up there and it was a nice trip downhill too. There are places going downhill where you can park and cool off your brakes for 10-15 minutes. We were concerned about other drivers following us, not so much about our car's brakes which were... more

Waking up at 6 am and a 3.5 drive from Boston, we expected a great value for an experience with Mother Nature. Though we knew that the price would be hefty to drive up the road, our rating for this experience remains low nevertheless. You have to pay $8 a person, in addition to $23 for the driver and car.... more

You are on the tallest mountain in the northeastern United States...what do you expect? There are plenty of turnouts along the road,... more

My friend and I are both afraid of heights, this was my third trip to the White Mountains Area and I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to experience the thrill of Mt. Washington Summit. My car was acting funny, so we opted for a guided tour on one of their coaches/van. It was well worth the $28. We had... more

We went up the Mt Washington Auto Road. On Thursday August 20. We went up in the Stage and had a fantastic trip. The driver was well trained, funny and full of information. The day wasclear with not many clouds around and the tempeture a comforable 56 Degrees. We had a great view and a smoth ride up and down.... more

Travel Date:Aug 25,2009 We took the guided tour for $29 a piece and was terribly disappointed.The driver was just talking but most of the time that has nothing to do with the Mt Washington. The vans ride was one of the bumpiest I have ever had. On top of the mountain there was literally no visibility.High winds and terribly conditions.... more

We drove up on a nice sunny day in August, the drive was amazing, the views outstanding! And once you are at the top, it's like being on top of the world, what scenery! Glad I did it! more
