A Favorable Forecast Keeps the Cog Climbing – Mount Washington Cog Railway, Mt. Washington NH
When the mountain offers an opportunity, the Mount Washington Cog Railway is ready to climb. With favorable weather predicted this week, the railway is quickly adjusting its Post-Season Schedule and starting two-hour round-trip excursions to the summit of Mount Washington, continuing through Sunday, November 1.
The Cog had originally scheduled mid-mountain trips to Waumbek Station during this period. Now, with the improving forecast, those same departures will travel to the summit instead. Mid-mountain excursions to Waumbek Station are scheduled to resume next week.
The change reflects the railway’s ability to turn a favorable forecast into an opportunity for visitors. By adjusting destinations while keeping departure times unchanged, the Cog can extend its summit season without requiring guests to rearrange their travel plans.
Daily departures will be offered at:
- 9:00 a.m.
- 10:15 a.m.
- 11:30 a.m.
- 12:45 p.m.
- 2:00 p.m.
- 3:00 p.m.
Guests should note that the New Hampshire State Park visitor center at the summit will remain closed to the public during this extended service period, although park staff will be on site.
Summit excursions are scheduled through November 1, with operations subject to mountain weather conditions. For complete information, schedule, tickets and much more, visit thecog.com
