I did it on my motorcycle July 4th last year, first time and was by myself because my buddies couldn’t make it. I’ll tell ya, it was definitely an adrenaline rush, coming down to me was much more fun because I knew what to expect. Not gonna lie, on the way up I was only about 2 miles in and was having some second thoughts as there were 58mph gusts (they shut the road down to motorcycles at 60mph gusts) but I had ridden 4hrs to get there that day and decided I wasn’t leaving without experiencing it. I’m happy I did!! And I’m psyched to do it again this year. Hopefully my wife will go with as well, it’s a hell of a ride with unreal scenery, especially on the bike feeling the temp change in real time on the way up, it was about 65 at the base and about 35 at the summit when I went. Woooooo!!!
i know exactly what you meant here. I had to stop in the middle of driving, luckily the car did not drag back itself but it is too scary while going up. But it is a life time experience, you can't get that feeling unless you do it by yourself. Mt. Washington toll road, definitely one should try it if they love adventure. Even Hiking to Mt. Washington during winter is kind of same. Thanks for your very genuine and valuable comment. Keep traveling Have fun and safe travel.
@@thumpertorque_ The crew won’t allow motorcycles up if the wind is gusting at 60+ mph. I called multiple times that day while heading that direction and they were always very polite to give me info. Just check the weather before going and you’ll be fine.
Doing it in the AM. In a BMW 430i Convertible. Can’t wait!!!! Excellent Video. Was good homework and also awesome views. Thanks for your efforts and for posting!
Just did this today. Made it to 7:11 on this video. Wife panicking and kid crying plus in the clouds, couldn’t see. With a minivan. The clouds blocked all the scenery but also blocked the fearful drop. Don’t know how there are NOT more accidents.
I have driven up Pikes Peak, Mt Elbert, Beartooth Hwy, Going to the Sun Road and trail road as passenger on Black Bear Trail above Telluride. This August we will be driving to top Mt Washington!!
We just climbed Mt Washington the other day. It was a beautiful sunny day for about the first three miles. Then the fog took over and we had "pea soup" all the way up to the summit. What an amazing drive! Our new F150 was an absolute joy to drive on this excursion. We had taken the cog railway train up to the summit about 40 years earlier on a clear day. That was a big thrill.
Summit of Mt. Washington is simply beautiful and thrilling which ever way we go. Temp changes drastically within a minute, we did the hike to the summit via cog rail way too 2 years back during the winter, it was super challenging but at the same time driving is a thrill!! Keep Traveling ...
when i did for the first time i had the same feeling, second time was also almost the same . But mid 1960's i can't image how scary it would have been . Cool thing is , you will have something to remember forever
Hiiii I need to what day time and date month you visited this place it’s a very good day I want to go but I don’t want cloudy weather plz reply me I really wanna visit this place
As per the latest news , mt Washington already got the snow at the summit . It’s should be beautiful at the summit or even on the way due to fall color. No matter , summer is the best time to drive up but I would say check the weather and very unpredictable at the summit. This time of the year would be awesome if you enjoy the fall color
Did it in 2010 in a 1964 Chevy II, 230 six cylinder, powerglide transmission, a single piston master cylinder and four wheel drum brakes. Going up was OK, coming down was not, had to stop twice to let the brakes stop smoking.
Check the price now.... fall of 2024. Its $ 45 for just the driver and $20 for each additional passenger older than a toddler. SO $100 for a family of 4...... TO DRIVE YOURSELF.
That's way too much, even if you allow for inflation. The $5 I paid in '74, is about $30 now. So at $45 that's a 50% price hike. Thanks for the input.@@davids.9834
I didn’t see any check on the type of car. As long as you are confident you should be good , but I would suggest you to try half way up to 4 miles and decide from there . When I was there first time, I literally saw smoke coming out from the front brake
We're going in a week and I'm trying to decide if I can stomach it. Driven up to Monteverde, Costa Rica which is about 2000 ft lower elevation and crappier rds then this but I don't know!
Best of luck !! It is really worth doing but drive safe and be extra cautious. All the best again!! Driving or hiking to mount Washington is always full of adventure
We went up three times years ago. The first two times were fine but the third time we were in a Jeep which is higher up so you can see the drop off easier. The first half of the road is fine until there are no railings or trees. The road seem more narrow than the other two times we went. Needless to say, this drive is the reason why my husband and I are now terrified to drive on mountain steep roads with cliffs
The mt. Washington auto road is not scary at all, that is unless you hitch a ride with travis Pastrana. He can drive up to the summit in just over 5minutes!
Used to go there regularly and drive Mt Washington Auto Road. Quite a thrill. And to Imagine that cars race this road at speeds up to 130 miles an hour th-cam.com/video/rP2-UHXJ3pU/w-d-xo.html . Took a few friends once, His wife was so scared, she cursed at me for taking her up there and swore to never do it again. Love the great footage and the music too. Thanks!
Dude I've been up the auto road several times and know what the road looks like. Driving up you didnt move the camera once. Seeonh yhe road only defeats the purpose of a camera
i feel like he didn't make the video specifically for you. i haven't been up that road once. i had no idea what it looked like. the video is great for those who haven't been up before and apparently, based on the comments of a lot of people who've been up before, it was enjoyable for many people who've been up before too.

@@603travels same to you, and thank you!!
Hi what do you mean by they shut the road down to 60 mph guests? I'm planning on taking my bike there but worried it might be closed.

One of the best videos on mount Washington NH ❤
Thank you!!

This is phenomenal upload 🔥🔥

The weather at or near the Mt.Washington Summit is dynamic. They keep on changing.
I think you meant to write, "I don't know how there are NOT more accidents".
Wow, sketchy ride!!
Good video. Thanks.
Thank you !!!
I did the hike and the drive up Mount Washington this past September. I really enjoy that part of New Hampshire
Is there anything else to do in New Hampshire? And I don't mean minor lakes or minor woods something that stands out?
Very good drive and video!
Thanks a lot!
Awesome 👏 Great Video quality dai
Been up there once. Took the cog railway though (the coal fired one). It was pretty epic.
Thank you man!
I have driven up Pikes Peak, Mt Elbert, Beartooth Hwy, Going to the Sun Road and trail road as passenger on Black Bear Trail above Telluride. This August we will be driving to top Mt Washington!!

I drove this in the mid 1960's with my wife when it was just a dirt road. My wife said never again.
when i did for the first time i had the same feeling, second time was also almost the same . But mid 1960's i can't image how scary it would have been . Cool thing is , you will have something to remember forever
An interesting yellow line,
I did this many years ago. I have to say it was j7st as terrifying the second time as it was the first. Call me crazy...I certainly do.
Same for me. this is my second time for Mt. Washington. During my first time , the road was not even paved but fear was same
Live Free or Die
Great upload
Wow, looks amazing! What did you take the video time lapse on?

During my first time, smoke was coming out from the front tier.
I'm surprised they let you up in that
@@Scott-fy7fm In 2011 they let me go up on foot.
I drove that auto road back in 1974 when I lived in New England.
It cost $5. Paid $53 now? Boy, the road ain't the only thing that is
steep!
i agree!!

(1) turn off your sound to avoid annoying music
(2) start watching at 2:40
sick!!!
hiking it on other trail can be scary as well
Yes , it took me 3 times to complete the hike during winter
Could a CR-Z make it up there? And would it be allowed?
I didn’t see any check on the type of car. As long as you are confident you should be good , but I would suggest you to try half way up to 4 miles and decide from there . When I was there first time, I literally saw smoke coming out from the front brake
Great music! It was much more fun when most of the road was unpaved though!
I went up yesterday and I was flipping out.
We're going in a week and I'm trying to decide if I can stomach it. Driven up to Monteverde, Costa Rica which is about 2000 ft lower elevation and crappier rds then this but I don't know!
This was my second time but every time it’s same .. full of fear and adventure. Really loved it but yes need to be careful all the way ..
Best of luck !! It is really worth doing but drive safe and be extra cautious. All the best again!! Driving or hiking to mount Washington is always full of adventure
It was the scariest ride I have ever taken in my life.

Do semi trucks travel this road?
The mt. Washington auto road is not scary at all, that is unless you hitch a ride with travis Pastrana. He can drive up to the summit in just over 5minutes!
Can I drive up in sport mode?
i would suggest not to do but you can definitely ask at the toll stop . It is for sure, it would be your lifetime experience
ive rode on this road
How to put the address on the gps !?
1860 Mt Washington Auto Rd, Jackson, NH 03846
It’s a mountain in the middle of NH. Learn how to read a map!

Then since you are an expert at this, make your own video and don’t complain about this video. He did an awesome job!
my parents drove up once. they said never again
Haha, it feels exactly the same way at various stop while going up as well as driving down.
@@603travels we went up the train last time instead
Haha we drove up three times and after the third we said never again 😆. The last time was probably about 10-11 years ago
Headed there 2nd week of July 2023 with 2 buddies on our touring bikes! Can't wait! I hate heights 😮
that isnt that bad u only fall to the bottom hahahhaha
