Mt. Washington

80-year-old James Clark was rescued after telling his grandsons to go on without him, then succumbing to hypothermia.

Have you ever driven up Mt Washington? It's a beautiful drive--6288 feet up. If you've never done it, it's not too scary at all! Driving up usually takes about 30 minutes. BUT, if you're in a #199SubaruWRX STI with a specially fitted 600hp engine it's a lot shorter trip.

Mount Washington is home to some crazy wind and temperature records, but it's not often that you can actually see how it affects the weather here in New England.

That thick Maine accent, that big crooked grin at the end of every forecast, and that western style tie, who could forget weatherman Marty On The Mountain?

Winds were gusting to 102 MPH and the wind chill was -40°F, but that didn't stop two Mt. Washington Observatory staff members from heading out on the observation deck this week to see what it was like.

A photograph of Mt. Washington on a clear day is one of the most breathtaking scenes you'll see in New England. This photograph by Maine Imaging may surprise you when you see where it's taken from.

We drove up the Mount Washington Auto Road during peak color season to see what New England looks like from up top!

You've probably seen the bumper stickers proudly proclaiming "This car climbed Mt. Washington." When you drive up a 7.6 mile, steep, narrow mountain road that climbs over 6000 feet with no guard rails, you can't help but feel like you've accomplished something.

Did you know Mount Washington in New Hampshire, just a few hours from Portland, is considered the most dangerous small mountain in the world?
