Visit to Mt. Washington, NH




Sasha and Elena at the top of Mt. Washington, with a view of 70 miles of scenery. This is the first day of sunshine in a week, and a wonderful finish to their three weeks with us. We enjoyed a leisurely visit on the summit and a stop at the alpine gardens on the way up. Barre drove us up the Auto Road. Mt. Washington is 6288 feet, the tallest mountain in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains.


The picture of Sasha, Elena and Marion was taken at the entrance to the Auto Road to the top of Mt. Washington. The weather was wonderful, one of the best summer days we've had. There was no wind at the top of the mountain, so we were quite comfortable walking around, going to the two small museums and the store for a look at postcards and sourvenirs.
Pardon the photo layout. I have a lot to learn!
