Mt. Washington is the highest point in New England and is known for its violent weather. The mountain had been calling me since we were in New York and now it was only half an hour away. It was a beautiful sunny day so we decided to check it out. We climbed to the 6288 foot summit via a 1866 cog rail train. Mt. Washington features a weather observatory because of its crazy weather. When we got there it was 47 degrees and the wind was blowing 74 mph. Needless to say, the windchill made us welcome a bowl of chili for lunch.
