MeefZah Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 How'd you like Mt. Washington? I thought it was pretty cool... literally... significant difference between the grouund level temp and up on top. Loved that road. Would have been epic if there hadn't been slow moving cars every hundred feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJ Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Is the auto road paved now? Never drove up, but I did hike it several times. Another fun mountain to ride is Equinox in south-central VT near Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 The auto road was very different, I am scared of heights and the middle section is dirt with no rails. It had me on edge both going up and down. But I have to say its a must see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 It was 50 at the top of the mountain with 40 mph wind. Its a good thing I had my coat. We came across a full grown bull moose half way down it may have been the coolest thing I have ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
