Climbing 4,600 feet up Mount Washington’s eastern side, this famous byway offers a driving experience that’s not for the fainthearted. The narrow, winding road has an average grade of 12 percent and, halfway up, turns to gravel for a mile. The weather at the cold, rocky peak changes constantly; wind gusts and dramatic cloud formations are common.
