Can be a bit pricey, but keep an eye on their site as they often run specials. Excellent place to stay though. Have stayed 3 or 4 times and it has been top notch every time.

Green Granite Inn, a North Conway Hotel
Stayed here once when the above hotel was full. Not bad, but not as nice as ^^^. Perfectly acceptable accommodations, just not as nice.

The Seasons Condominium Resort - Affordable Family Resort in Mt.Washington Valley
This is condo resort and could be an unbeatable value if some want to travel as a group. They are all individually owned so your mileage may vary, but the unit we stayed in was great except for the limited supply of hot water. (If you don't take 3 showers back-to-back it was fine.) The clubhouse/gameroom/indoor pool area is a bit dated but everything was functional when we went last December. Rates of 130/night for a 2-bedroom becomes very easy to swallow when you start dividing it up. And you get the option of bringing your own food if you don't want to eat out. It's north of North Conway, but actually puts you a bit closer to the Auto Road (23 vs. 34 minutes according to GoogleMaps)


North Conway is THE place to kill time in the off hours as there's lots of restaurants, shopping, and other activities. It's not too far from the base of the Auto Road and the drive between the two is nice. Someone mentioned Mount Washington Cog Railway - Climb to the Top of Mount Washington on the world's first mountain-climbing Cog Railway trains! and I will just chime in with this: EXPENSIVE! Priced to match the steep grade of the Jacob's ladder trestle (300' long at a grade of 37.41%) at $62 per adult. Don't get me wrong it's a good once-in-a-lifetime trip, but it is on the other side of the mountain from where most will be staying (55 minutes) and I didn't want to have someone drive all that way only to have a coronary due to sticker shock.

The auto road is a really sweet drive. Let's just pray for clear skies (the summit is in the clouds 60% of the time) and light winds (hurricane force winds occur roughly 33% of the time).

Sub'd. Sounds like a blast to me.

[SonicNutrition]

Thanks Stephen! Great intro, I laughed my ass off. I sent an email to Mike @ Mt. Washington and CCed you in.

[Byakuya]

Thanks man, I should put in there that you found this originally when we were talking about going up the mountain **goes to fix OP**

[Mr.Smoke]

This is something I may make the trip across the border for. Google maps says just over 11 hours. I bet I can do it in 9

Sounds like a good time having a nice route like that with nobody else on the road except 6's.

Nice! Would finally get to meet you haha.

Also, if you're google mapping from your place to "Mt. Washington" itself, then it adds the 1.5 hour trip to the top of the mountain, so it may only be a 9.5 hour drive for the base. Because it says it's 4 hours away for me, but I know it's only about 3.

You'll want to see how far you are from the resort that's right there....

[Byakuya]

Would still be nice to meet you. Oh and sonic I read your email, let's hope he gets back to us with some good information.
