Often snow-cloaked, the spiny summit of Mount Washington makes it the tallest peak in the northeast and the king of the White Mountain Region, an area laced with hiking trails and dotted with quaint little hamlets.
This trail starts in Dolly Copp Campground. Hikers should park at the Visitor Center Parking Area. The long, hard climb is definitely not recommended as a route up Mt. Madison unless you are an experienced hiker. There is a long open stretch exposed to the elements.
