Tremendous! As a great fan of Mt Washington I would be a scared but ecstatic passenger but could never be the driver. Loved every second of being a passenger in your auto. It was like a glimpse, sneak preview of heaven Now can we please take the cable car and descend to the Mt, Washington Hotel? Perhaps share a fine whiskey on the veranda... Thank you for a remarkable and quite enticing video journey.

It's funny you should say that because I feel the opposite. I would lose a few years off of my life being the passenger on such a climb, but it was actually fun when I drove up myself. It's still adrenaline and excitement one way or another, but the difference is that when you're the driver, you get a kick out of it and you're all smiles, whereas as a passenger you're holding on tight to the door handle and tensing up all your muscles lol Did this thing 3 years ago, in 2017. Would love to get back there to climb the mountain on foot, which I didn't do last time because of the stormy weather (which the locals say is the norm for most days). But yeah, I'd love to do the hike up the mountain and also take the cog train. Maybe next year, when this coronahoax planneddemic is over (let's see if my comment survives on youtube for what I just said lol).

Being there and doing it is FAR worse than watching the video. The magnitude of the surrounding mountains make you feel like a tiny little ant on the side of Mount Washington. You feel so small and insignificant, like the sky could crush you at any moment. While it was beautiful at the top, it was not worth the terror of going up and down. I will NEVER do it again.

WHERE did you turn around! I can relate!!

Born and raised in the NC Mountains. We have some seriously steep, twisty roads but this road had me almost freaked out. At the summit it was 44 degrees, and the mountain was covered in clouds. Winds were gusting up to 70mph. I was a lot more comfortable coming down.

Beautiful ride! Thank you for the video! I hiked to the top of Mt Washington with my dad when I was 9 back in 1975 or so. I cried for my mom during a wind storm.

I drove it 7 years ago , 62 years old , solo woman. On the bottom was a beautiful weather, great yellow leaves on the trees. In the middle of way the weather changed, and was a dense fog , visibility around 4-5 feet. My speed was very low . I was very grateful for the line in the middle of the road which showed me where to go. It was very foggy at the peak, windy. 2 hours later it was the clearest sky you can imagine. Practically I saw the road on the way down. It was very stressful drive up.

One of my fondest memories as a kid was being in the family car going up the mountain. My brothers and I were scared....but it wasn't too bad. I remember looking out the window and seeing clouds or trees below us. We were relieved when we got to the top.

I ride up every year on my motorcycle. It has to be the best place on the east coast. I'm so glad to live in New Hampshire.

Great video. I went up last week and remember the person at the gate telling us "There's gusts exceeding 70mph and visibility at the top is currently poor" My girlfriend was pumped as we headed in and her enthusiasm turned to fear as we would barely see at 5000' and the winds were brutal. We eventually made it and had to wait nearly an hour and half for the clouds to move out. After that the views were stunning. The ride down was a little tricky at the gravel section as some people thought I had right of way. Overall it was a something that I never experienced.

Been up there 2 weeks ago and I'm still amazed by how the views are so freaking awesome!

I appreciate you using your turn signal.

My wife and I did this in Aug of 1974! No toll booth that I can remember back than! Brought back many memories! It was long sleeve weather at the top !

Omg when i was driving up i got sooo scared because of all the cliffs right on side of the road. But when i got to the top it was the most AMAZING veiw

I don’t think I’d ever be able to put my car, let alone driving, through all of that climbing and descending. My parents did it and my dad said it was awesome and my mom hates the drive lol (I’d love to experience this though)

I've hiked both sides of Mt Washington, and driven this crazy road, looking forward to doing it again in the future, think of the hard work and ppl sacrificing there lives too give us the opportunity to witness such a thing, and to think, lil o'l NH

Thank you to the driver for the tour, it was amazing. Personally, I can’t handle steep drops with no protection, have done some out West and it wasn’t pretty, so I learned my limitations. Congratulations and thanks again.

Same here, Bill. When I was a passenger on this road, I had a full-blown panic attack. My rear-end was in the front seat but my head and torso were behind the driver seat. In a rush of fear, I was literally trying to get my head under the driver seat to hide, that's how scared I was. I couldn't breathe. It was truly the worst experience of my life. THEN WE HAD TO GO BACK DOWN. :(

Me, my boyfriend, and a friend of ours hiked Mt Washington this past September. Going up was AMAZING, but going down was terrifying bc a rain storm passed through and those boulder fields SUCK when they're wet. The whole trek took about 11 hours up and down (we stopped at the hut for a while) and despite the fear of death going down it was hands down the most amazing experience ever. Just watch out for the giant gorge. Like...don't even look at it roflol

I live in VT now not too far away thanks for posting this now I know what to expect. And what's with people giving this a thumbs down? This vid is GREAT!! The sad part is about 3 people die up here a year some do not realize how the weather changes and freeze to death some fall . You have to respect the mountain!

Another gorgeous, fun to watch video. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful adventures.

We went up there so many time in the past by car, and what a difference! The road is so much safer than how I remember it. It is unbelievable since the road wasn't paved back then and was much narrower. The very last time we went was by cog. There we were told by the conductor that we were lucky to have such a clear day as there are only a handful of clear days. So, we could see forever once on the top of the mountain.

It would be fine if you were the only one on the road but there are some gravel sections and if you have to pass a wide vehicle on the descent it can be scary. My mum and dad were in the back seat for the drive... she was silent the whole time, praying and he was swearing his head off that they even open the road to the public! Funny in retrospect ;)

I did that just a few days ago. Not as scary as some people make it seem but there are times where you REALLY get concerned.

Wash was in my dad's car and we didn't make it up as the car overheated. Fortunate for us, there was a very small stream next to the road and my dad found a Budweiser can..lol.

I found going up much scarier than the descent.

On super clear days you can see the Atlantic Ocean past Maine. The older buildings on the top were heavily chained into the ground because of the harsh weather during the different times of the year. Can't tell if they are still there.

Just came back from vacation, did it two up on our Victory Cross Country, Our trip much different than video, very cloudy that day and chances of rain thru out the day. So cloudy on our trip up could see only 100-125 feet in front of us. A lot of drivers did not understand staying on their side! Tried to maintain 20MPH up so could use 2nd gear, but not always possible. ( Remember camera in video is parallel to road so the steepness can not be seen) the grade averages 11% - per Mt. Washington info). Hit near solid clouds by 4 mile mark, brief openings kept ya on your toes, cause now you could see beyond the road edges. A few vehicles were at the turn offs waiting to turn back. We got to the top ( that's when I told Rebecca that the last 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile I could only see 30-40 feet in front of the tire, shield on helmet fogged up, so I open it. The mist of the fog now covered my glasses and I could not get them off while driving. The wife who has bungee jumped many times was not a fan of the ride that day. We sat a bit then walked around the top.Then it started to rain, quit heavy. We decided it would be safer if she road down in a vehicle, less weight for me and gravity to handle, especially on the dirt section, which is a bit over a mile long. Went down with no glasses and an open shield so I could at least see far enough to operate the bike. The dirt section section was as bad almost as ice, kind of a clay like surface. Kept the bike in first gear the whole time which kept the speed to 15 mph, as a result had to use almost no brakes, engine braking did most of the work. Wet clay roads, brakes ( front and/or rear) with only two wheels not a great plan. We both got down. Had no time to be scared as concentration on what I was doing was enough to keep me busy. Apparently vehicles coming up also had vision trouble as they sometimes felt they needed my side of the road. After being down,and as bad I thought it was, I am looking forward to doing it again, but will pick a clear day like this video. Jerry & Rebecca Horn

Nice work Tim.

Every few years I revisit these videos of people driving up Mount Washington, asking myself "Could I possibly do it again, just to see if it's as terrifying as I remember it being?" And after watching these videos, the answer is a HARD NO every time. While I would love to go back up there again and see the views, my anxiety and panic attacks would never allow it.
