The "Road to the Sky" opened to horse and carriage traffic in 1861--it is quite an engineering marvel. Reputed to be the nation's first man-made attraction, the Auto Road continues to provide travelers with an opportunity to reach the "top of New England" in just about a half hour. At the summit, you can enjoy spectacular views of the Presidential Range and beyond, plus visit the Mount Washington Observatory Museum.
Fees and some vehicle limitations apply. If you don't think your car is up for the climb, guided van tours are also available.
Directions: The Mount Washington Auto Road is accessible from Route 16 north of Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire.
