Mount Washington.

The Mount Washington Auto Road, America’s oldest man-made tourist attraction, offers an unforgettable journey through diverse ecological zones, ascending over 4,000 feet to breathtaking vistas. Established in 1861, this historic route transitioned from horse-drawn carriages to modern vehicles, including hybrid options. Visitors can either self-drive to the summit—earning the iconic "This Car Climbed Mt. Washington" bumper sticker—or opt for guided tours that delve into the mountain's rich history and unique weather phenomena. At the summit, explore the 1853 Tip Top House and the Sherman Adams Visitor Center with its interactive exhibits. With activities year-round—hiking, birdwatching, and winter SnowCoach tours—this family-owned business emphasizes environmental stewardship while offering exhilarating experiences amidst some of the world's most extreme weather conditions.
