Below are the current rates for traveling the Mt. Washington Auto Road, either by guided tour
(in the comfy new Stage Vans) or by your own vehicle. There is no reservation system, so just
come on down (or should we say up?) and enjoy the mountain! Allow at least two hours, in case there
is a short wait time at the bottom and to allow for the 1½-hour round trip. The professional
Stage drivers await your visit and are eager to give you an unforgettable trip into New England history!
Persons taking their own cars will be treated to the world-famous bumper
stickers and a very cool and informative audio tour on CD or tape (available in English, French or German).
You may stay as long as you wish, but make sure you check the schedule so you can be off the
mountain before the gate is locked! With advance notice, folks interested in overnighting at AMC's backcountry
huts may leave their cars at the summit overnight.
