The Mt. Washington Auto Road opens early on three Sundays every summer, allowing guests to drive themselves to the summit of Mount Washington to view the sunrise from the highest peak in the Northeast. Due to the popularity of these sunrise opportunities, we recommend not waiting until the last minute to arrive as you may spend time waiting at the Toll House due to traffic. The State Park building on the summit will be open with limited food service on all three of these mornings.

Seek the Peak is the nation’s premier hiking event. Presented by Eastern Mountain Sports, Seek the Peak will draw over 500 hikers and their families from across the eastern seaboard and beyond to the White Mountains this July. Seek the Peak is a classic participant-driven fundraising event. Once hikers register for Seek the Peak, they are encouraged to solicit donations from family and friends in support of their efforts. On Seek the Peak Saturday, they hit the trail with the 6,288-foot summit of Mount Washington or seek alternative hikes. Once they complete their hike, they are treated to a tremendous awards party with a dinner, a retail expo and thousands of dollars in prizes.
