#16 by cog rail

Response to Mount Washington, New Hampshire (6,288 feet)

High point stop # 2 on our cruise took us to Portland Maine, where we got on a motorcoach for the very long ride to Mt. Washington. A lunch was given to us before boarding the cog, and slowly we crept to the top. Of course it was very wet and cold, but the train was fun. The building at the top was very warm and welcoming.
It was around 45 degrees at the top (early August) with a much lower wind chill. there were two very grizzled through hikers at the top with us taking photos.
It was probably the best $300 I ever spent! ($150 each for my son and I)
Thank you to Royal carib Cruise line for providing the tour.
