Mt. Washington is well known for its extreme weather—that’s part of the attraction of visiting the summit. Your ticket to drive the Mt. Washington Auto Road on your ATV/UTS is valid rain or shine and in most wind conditions. We will close the road only if the Mt Washington Auto Road management deems the weather to be dangerous or the road conditions to be unsafe. We will not close the road due to uncomfortable weather or weather that some may consider less than ideal.
If conditions allow us to run to treeline only, we will refund 1/2 of your reservation.
