The family-owned Mt. Washington Auto Road has closed for the 2024 season. Featured here is Paul Guerin, who has been swinging the toll bridge gate for 45 years! Thank you to each and every member of our team for a wonderful spring, summer, and fall.

The Auto Road will reopen weekends in mid May 2025 once we have safely cleared the road of ice and snow. Daily operations typically commence Memorial Day Weekend.

Open

As we near the end of our operating season we'd like to take a moment to thank the Mount Washington State Park / @nhstateparks team for their integral work from the summit cone of the mountain. Whether you journey to the top of the northeast by road, train, or foot–for your first time, or weekly commute—we have the sum of the Mount Washington State Parks' efforts to thank as stewards of this resource for all to enjoy.

Guests planning to drive the Auto Road in our last two weeks of summer operations should be aware that the Sherman Adams State Park building has officially closed for the season. Weather depending, our summit stage gift shop will stay open until October 27, and toll house operations through November 3rd.
