NH day 3

We enjoyed waking up to a much quieter campground on Labor Day. We swam in the pool (which had over 100 kids in it the previous couple of days according to the camp staff).

Then we drove the Kancamagus highway to Mt Washington. It’s a beautiful road that follows passes through the white mountains. Mt Washington is known as having the worst weather in the world including crazy swings in temperature, wind, and precipitation. The buildings are chained down and we did experience a dramatic temperature drop as the winds whipped around.

There are several ways to get to the summit. You can hike, drive, or take the train. We drove and enjoyed learning about the history of the road. Several records were set on the road including running, biking, and driving on it. The speed and control required to set these were very impressive.

The summit trail is part of the Appalachian trail and we saw a few section hikers which was really neat. There’s even a post office at the summit!Read more
