The Mt. Washington Auto Road will open early on three Sundays in 2008, on June 29,  August 3 and August 31, allowing guests to drive themselves to the summit of Mt. Washington to view the sunrise from the highest peak in the Northeast. On June 29, the Auto Road will open at 3:30 AM, on August 3 at 4:00 am and at 4:30 AM on August 31, which will allow guests to arrive early enough to watch the sun come up over the Atlantic Ocean. Regular Drive Yourself rates and Vehicle Restrictions apply. From the success of last year’s events the Mt. Washington Auto Road recommends not waiting until the last minute to arrive as you may spend a few additional minutes at the Toll House due to traffic.

Here's a video of our Sunrise Drive on August 5, 2007.
