Mount Washington, NH - Hiking to the Summit on the Jewell Trail
MT WASHINGTON//27 Aug 2019
Mount Washington, home of the world's worst weather, sits at 6,288 feet making it the tallest mountain in the northeastern US. Follow me as I hike to the summit from the Ammonoosuc Ravine trailhead! The trail is approximately 5.2 miles one-way with a 4,186' elevation gain.
**Do yourself a favor and arrive early if you plan to hike it! It takes 5 hours and 10 minutes on average to reach the summit. You need to allot enough time to ascend and descend the mountain on foot if you are trying to complete the NH 48 AKA the 4,000-Footer Challenge!**

Wow you just got a bluebird day up there. So awesome! My wife and I are gonna do this trail, we both have never summited Washington before, is this fairly dog friendly? I’ve heard the rocks can be tough on dogs paws but our lab seems to have very little issues with rocky sections.

That's a good question. I think portions of the alpine section would be tricky but I think it depends on your dog. I can see why others would say it would be hard on their paws. There were sections that seemed like there was nothing but shale on the ground. I would feel okay taking a lab up there but I wouldn't take a smaller dog, like my Frenchie. We actually have little hiking booties for our dog. It might be worth bringing some for your lab to wear during those sections of the trail.
Did you ever do Ammo up then? Confused between Ammo and Jewel.. might also take train down Great video btw- learned a lot

Thank you! I did not do Ammonoosuc although people recommend the Ammo-Jewell loop to go up/down. As you saw, I was a one-way passenger! 😄 Hope you enjoy the hike though.
