Always use care when hiking Mt. Washington - while extremely beautiful country, the weather can turn quickly.  Always bring adequate clothing and emergency gear. If in doubt, check with the Appalachian Club at Pinkham Notch (The trail head).  Weather in June can be 70+ in the valley but 32 degrees with 89 mph winds on the mountain!

Tuckerman's Ravine Trail

This is probably the most often hiked trail to the summit of Mt. Washington.  The trail starts at the AMC Pinkham Notch facility (20 miles north of North Conway on Rt 16)

Hiking distance is 4.2 miles (4 hrs, 15 minutes) to the summit of Mt. Washington. 

The half way point is the Hermit Lake shelters (2.4 miles, 2 hrs 10 minutes from the trailhead.  Drinking water is available via pump right past the ranger shelter
