About Mount Washington

Mount Washington is the highest peak in the north-eastern United States, at 1,917 metres in New Hampshire's White Mountains, and its summit is known for some of the worst weather on Earth. Wind, rime ice and fog are common, but on clear days the view stretches across several states. These Mount Washington live cams come from the Mount Washington Observatory, which has kept weather records on the summit since 1932.

Which Mount Washington webcam to check first

Start with the deck camera, looking east from the state park building, for fog, rime and sunrise. The Northern Presidentials camera follows the ridge to Mount Adams and Mount Jefferson, and the west view looks towards the Bretton Woods side.

Before you go to Mount Washington

The summit can be dangerous in any month and the Auto Road and Cog Railway run to the top only in season. Check the Observatory's higher summits forecast and the National Weather Service before any trip above the trees.
