So the website states " No visit to the White Mountains is complete without a drive on the legendary Mt. Washington Auto Road. First opened in 1861, the Auto Road is America's oldest man-made tourist attraction. You'll experience the dramatic beauty of the mountains, or the weather that Mount Washington is so famous for.
7.6 miles journey that gains over 4.000' in elevation. No guardrails!!! scenic drive as you climb with a couple of hairpins (oh shit moments for me) and you arrive at the Top. Where there is a gift shop selling souvenirs. (see new patch)
So I did the climb and all the while I am now thinking I gotta go down - on the way down on the single road (which is now paved, only recently it used to be gravel) are signs for pull-offs to cool your brakes
I am thankful for a number of reasons. Thankful that I did it. It is challenging and very thankful that it was a cloudy day to prevent me from seeing far out into the distance as it was my eyes were focused on the motorcycle in front of me at all times.
below are a number of Photos taken
