Mount Washington Observatory Live Cam

The weather webcam at the Mount Washington Observatory Deck offers a view of the tallest mountain in the northeastern United States—Mount Washington, situated in New Hampshire. This camera provides a real-time look at the swiftly changing weather and landscape from a private weather station perched atop the observatory tower. Standing at an elevation of 6,288.2 feet (1,916.6 meters), this peak in the White Mountains is a popular hiking spot, though hikers should be prepared for a strenuous trek and unpredictable weather conditions. Prominent trails in the area include the Tuckerman Ravine Trail, the Jewel Trail, and the Appalachian Trail. For a picturesque journey to the summit, you can take the Mount Washington Cog Railway, which operates both vintage steam and biodiesel engines. Alternatively, the Mount Washington Auto Road allows access to this lofty peak, stretching 7.6 miles (12.2 kilometers) with an average gradient of around 11.6%, starting from a base elevation of 1,527 feet (465 meters) and climbing to 6,145 feet (1,873 meters).
