Washington Cog Railway, enjoy the breath-taking scenic view aside of the Sherman Adams Visitors Center, and see the Mount Washington Observatory's Weather Museum and the 1853 Tip Top House at the highest peak in the Northeast!On this full day tour from Boston you'll climb to the highest peak in New England on the world's first mountain-climbing cog railway—Mt. Washington Cog Railway! The railway combines19th century innovation with 21st century eco-friendly biodiesel technology and is the only cog railway east of the White Mountains. During your trip, you will travel over Jacob's Ladder, the second steepest trestle in the world with a 37.41% grade. The engines and coaches are designed and built at the Cog by its crew of talented machinists and craftsmen.
Your train ride will take 45 minutes up to the summit and 45 minutes back down to the bottom of the Mt. Washington. Atop the summit, you can either explore Mount Washington Observatory’s Weather Museum, the 1853 Tip Top House and the Sherman Adams Visitor Center, or simply enjoy the panoramic view.
After the cog railway tour you'll go fruit picking- a fun activity for the whole family! You may pick the strawberries, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, apples, pumpkins and more in their harvest season. If the fruit picking farms are not open on the travel day, your group will visit the tax-free Merrimack Outlet instead. After a fun-filled day your tour will conclude back in Boston around 7pm.
Please note that Mt. Washington Cog Railway tickets are not included in tour price and will be purchased onsite.
