SnowCoach Summit Expedition 2.8.2024

One giant leap for all snowkind... Today is a day for the history books. For the first time, Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center offered guests a guided winter SnowCoach summit expedition up the Mt. Washington Auto Road to 6,288 feet.

Driven by 4 tracks rather than wheels, the Mt. Washington SnowCoach typically transports guests to tree line on the Mt. Washington Auto Road, at approximately 4,200 feet, into a sub-arctic world for a truly unforgettable adventure. All tours are narrated by our expert guides and the SnowCoaches are warm and comfortable.

On this historic day, supremely favorable weather forecasted by the Mount Washington Observatory (MWOBS) and unusual top-to-bottom snowy road conditions allowed guests the rare chance to continue to the summit of the ‘Old Rock Pile’.

Update: On Thursday, February 15, 2024 a second summit ascent was successful. Follow @MtWashAutoRoad & @GreatGlenTrails on Instagram & Facebook to stay in the know about future adventures.
