Mount Washington – New Hampshire

We made it to the top of Mount Washington by car. 

The day started out raining but cleared up to overcast. We were told we would not get to see much at the top due to the weather. The sun decided to come out and it turned out to be a gorgeous day!

I took this picture from inside our car. Not much of a road as you can see. It was quite narrow for two cars. It was a little scary at times.

There is a train you can take or you could always hike but this time we drove up.

The stairs take you to the top of the mountain after you park your car.

 This view was amazing!!!

Here my son is looking at the hikers remembering his own climb up the mountain.

Looking over the Appalachians.

It was August and boy did the weather change. On top of Mount Washington it became windy and cold. I went back to the car and got my coat. My husband was not kidding that I might need it. Good thing I brought it along.

It was 46 degrees and the wind chill 38. 

It was so windy on one side of the mountain. It was hard to catch your breath at times.

This side of the mountain was where all the wind was. 

Here I’m trying to block the wind.

I would have never thought I would be wearing my coat in August. Of course back at the base of the mountain it was 80 degrees. 

My kind of weather. :-)
