@old64goat I know what you mean about no money, tough times right now but, i'm glad you and your wife got to go up there again and i'm glad you filmed this. Your filming was superb by the way. You enjoy your weekend my friend and thanks again.
Nice video, I like Mount Washington and the White Mountains a lot. Last time I went there, I hiked up to the summit, but took one of the vans down because the weather was bad, and my feet hurt, and hiking back down would be torture. Hopefully next time I can hike up and down. But I still love the auto road, and I want to go back there too.
@vracer88 1. When you get to the top, you can pay for a van to take you back down? 2. How long does it take to climb? 3. Is climbing experience needed?
Hi C.W., Yes it was, when you take the stage up they only give you 30 minutes on the summit and you have to be ready to get back on the stage, if not you are on your own.
You may get another stage to take you down, but that is not guarantied.
Awesome. Beautiful. My parents have some video of driving on Pike's Peak back in 1995. They mounted the camera to the top of the car somehow, and the view is incredible!
Hi Bill,I really enjoyed this,I wouldn't drive up there either!This was almost like being there,which I never will be,so I thank you for sharing it with us.5*****Jerry
Great video. I love the mountains. I have never been up on Mount Washington. I have been up on Mount Mitchell (elevation 6,684 feet) it is the highest point east of the Rockies. Located about 35 miles northeast of downtown Asheville NC. I have been up there several times since childhood. The first time we went was in 1960 we were on a 1956 Rambler. We didn't think the rambler would make it up the mountain but it did. Thank you for sharing your trip. Rich (ncautoman57)
You shot a fantastic video my friend !

@vracer88, I would love to go back to New Hampshire again, but being retired and the very high price of gas, my vacation days are over.
Glad you can hike up there, if I tried that I would be dead before I got 100 feet up the mountain.

No, as the video shows, I took the "stage"
It could still be scary for some people though.

Hi Bill, I have never been to that height on a mountain. Thanks for taking us there..., It was very cool. 5*****.

Hi Jerry, Thanks, yes it is not worth having a brake job done when you get down.
Those "stages" have heavy duty transmissions and they hardly ever use their brakes.
They drive in low gear on the way down..

Hi Rich, Thanks for the comment, the last time we went on vacation in NH was in 2006, now retired and no money....haha.
2004 was the last time I went up mount Washington, wife stayed at gift shop, she hates hights.
I love the north country, when it is hot and humid here, it is so nice and cool in the white mountains.
