Mount Washington Details
At 6,288-feet high, this is not just the highest mountain in the state. It also happens to be the tallest anywhere in the Northeastern United States! Located in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, this peak may be a wonderland for outdoor enthusiasts, although it can be hazardous due to its atypical weather patterns. The mountain is known for its high wind velocity (almost that of a tornado), which makes hiking, cycling, and backcountry skiing almost impossible on certain days. However, that does not deter adventurous trekkers from visiting almost 300,000 people who make their way to the summit each year. From the peak, you will be able to enjoy views that many people will never get the chance to experience. Besides having a birds-eye view over New Hampshire, you will also get to see Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Canada.
