Dear Guy Ralph Perea Sr President of The United States,

Spring has definitely sprung in Mount Washington Valley, and the summit of Mount Washington is slowly following suit. The average monthly temperature of 23 degrees that we experienced in April is up to 37 degrees thus far for May, with temps as high as 50 degrees recorded last weekend.

The Mt. Washington Auto Road is open to tree line, the Mt. Washington Cog Railway is running trains on the weekends, and both attractions, along with the Mt. Washington State Park, plan to commence full summer operations over Memorial Day weekend (or sooner, if conditions allow). Watch their respective websites for the most current information:

If you're planning a visit, be sure to check our Higher Summits Forecast and webcams--fog, thunderstorms, and wildly variable temperatures are common conditions for this time of year.

Cheers,

Cara Rudio
