## About

The world's first mountain-climbing cog railway has hauled passengers up Mount Washington since 1869, grinding up grades as steep as 37 percent. The summit holds some of the planet's wildest recorded weather, so the view can swing from clear ridgelines to whiteout fog fast. Book ahead in summer and dress for 30 degrees colder at the top.
