Recommendation: If you are planning to drive #MtWashingtonAutoRoad, please check the brake of the car and also make sure how to switch the gear to the lower gear. You will need it while you descend from the summit of Mt. Washington ( to save your break)

Fact: #MtWashington is the highest Mountain in the northeast USA and one of the windiest places on earth (recorded).

Mt. Washington Auto Road is a very scenic drive in Gorham, New Hampshire. The road, located in the White Mountains, first 4 miles is kind of Ok and moderate but after that, it can be a bit intimidating and scary you will be driving along steep cliffs that lack guard rails and it is 10 Mile road to the Summit of Mt. Washington.

You will be able to experience the most dramatic beauty of Presidential Range as you drive up to the 10-mile Auto Road - summit of the highest peak in the northeast USA.

The wicked road that is literally perched onto a very steep mountain ridge is located at 1 Mt Washington Auto Rd, Gorham, NH 03581. It’s asphalted. Not recommended for people afraid of heights. This Auto road tests the skill, and courage, of any driver. Don't try if you are suffering from vertigo. Definitely, the drive is Scary. It's a two-lane road, with no guardrails and big drop-offs on one side. So thrill remains the same while ascending and descending. But, it's really worth it. It’s incredibly disorienting to look over the edge, or even just to see the valleys a couple thousand feet below you. The road includes some steep sections.

I drove that auto road back in 1974 when I lived in New England.
It cost $5. Paid $53 now? Boy, the road ain't the only thing that is
steep!

I did it on my motorcycle July 4th last year, first time and was by myself because my buddies couldn’t make it. I’ll tell ya, it was definitely an adrenaline rush, coming down to me was much more fun because I knew what to expect. Not gonna lie, on the way up I was only about 2 miles in and was having some second thoughts as there were 58mph gusts (they shut the road down to motorcycles at 60mph gusts) but I had ridden 4hrs to get there that day and decided I wasn’t leaving without experiencing it. I’m happy I did!! And I’m psyched to do it again this year. Hopefully my wife will go with as well, it’s a hell of a ride with unreal scenery, especially on the bike feeling the temp change in real time on the way up, it was about 65 at the base and about 35 at the summit when I went.

I drove this in the mid 1960's with my wife when it was just a dirt road. My wife said never again.

Just did this today. Made it to 7:11 on this video. Wife panicking and kid crying plus in the clouds, couldn’t see. With a minivan. The clouds blocked all the scenery but also blocked the fearful drop. Don’t know how there are more accidents.

I did the hike and the drive up Mount Washington this past September. I really enjoy that part of New Hampshire

[catdaddy]

Good video. Thanks.

Been up there once. Took the cog railway though (the coal fired one). It was pretty epic.

I have driven up Pikes Peak, Mt Elbert, Beartooth Hwy, Going to the Sun Road and trail road as passenger on Black Bear Trail above Telluride. This August we will be driving to top Mt Washington!!

We just climbed Mt Washington the other day. It was a beautiful sunny day for about the first three miles. Then the fog took over and we had "pea soup" all the way up to the summit. What an amazing drive! Our new F150 was an absolute joy to drive on this excursion. We had taken the cog railway train up to the summit about 40 years earlier on a clear day. That was a big thrill.

I did this many years ago. I have to say it was j7st as terrifying the second time as it was the first. Call me crazy...I certainly do.

[tbec]

Wow, looks amazing! What did you take the video time lapse on?

[paulhare]

Did it in 2010 in a 1964 Chevy II, 230 six cylinder, powerglide transmission, a single piston master cylinder and four wheel drum brakes. Going up was OK, coming down was not, had to stop twice to let the brakes stop smoking.

(1) turn off your sound to avoid annoying music
(2) start watching at 2:40

[jacobhindson]

hiking it on other trail can be scary as well

[Stealthborn]

Could a CR-Z make it up there? And would it be allowed?

[mhastings]

Great music! It was much more fun when most of the road was unpaved though!

[kimvi]

I went up yesterday and I was flipping out.

[richarddudley]

The mt. Washington auto road is not scary at all, that is unless you hitch a ride with travis Pastrana. He can drive up to the summit in just over 5minutes!

[haydenskiez]
