Seasonally available May-October (weather permitting), Guided Tours offer a unique opportunity to learn the true nature and history of Mount Washington and the Auto Road. Driven by one of our accomplished and dedicated tour guides, your “stage driver” will offer stories, anecdotes, legends, history and insight into the ecological wonder of Mount Washington as well as point out interesting features and scenic opportunities from the base to the 6,288-foot summit.
2-HOUR GUIDED TOURS are available without reservation on a first-come, first-serve basis during regular Guided Tour hours. Online reservations are available for the 9:00am tour.
30 minutes to and from the summit with our accomplished and dedicated tour guides in comfortable 12-passenger tour vehicles
Our Bicknell’s Thrush Guided Tours leave early in the morning before the Mt. Washington Auto Road opens to the general public to insure there is as little additional noise or disturbance as possible. Our success rate at hearing and seeing this elusive thrush is quite good, but with the species in decline due to wintering habitat losses, there can be no guarantee of sightings.
Tours take place May 28, June 3, 6, 8, & 16, 2017
Tours depart from the base of the Auto Road at 6:00am and last approximately 2 hours.
Advanced reservations required.
Kevin Berend will present a program that takes a look at “Investigating the Ecology of a Threatened Ecosystem: Snowbank Communities of Mt. Washington.”
