  2. Mt Washington Summit Road Company

    The Mt Washington Summit Road Company operates an 8-mile-long alpine toll road from Pinkham Notch to the summit of Mt Washington. The entrance is off NH 16, 2.5 miles north of Pinkham Notch Camp. The toll includes an audio tour on CD. If you'd rather not drive, you can take a 1½-hour guided tour (adult/child/senior around US$26/around US$11/around US$23; 08:30-17:00), which allows you 30 minutes on the summit. In severe weather the road may be closed (even in summer).
