Mount Washington Road Trip

Mount Washington Hotel

On a perfect spring day we headed over to the Mount Washington Hotel. This place is classic. The view also shows the Cog Railway where I worked in 1972 and 1973, and where my brothers worked at different times. The fun fact of this mountain is... our family has a ravine named after us on the mountain: Burt Ravine. It's to the left of the Cog's track about 3/4 of the way up. My grandfather's grandfather Henry M. Burt, founder and publisher of Among the Clouds, the first newspaper published on Mount Washington in the 1860s. Interestingly (at least for our family), my grandfather F. Allen Burt wrote the history of the mountain up until 1961: The Story of Mount Washington.

Mount Washington. On the left you can see the Cog Railway tracks
and to the left of the tracks you can see a sliver of snow that is
our family's ravine... Burt Ravine. :-)  

I took this photo about 20 miles from the hotel
on the drive through Jefferson NH
