Mt. Washington permit?
Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2013 3:52 am
I am going up for the Highpointer convention and want to also summit Mt. Washingon. I have a couple questions for you alpinists:
1. Is a hiking permit of any kind required to summit Mt. Washingon?
2. What trail is the best for a day hike? I'm 70 and just want to summit via the easiest trail that is doable doing a day hike.
We will be hiking in July.
I read another thread and they talked about 60 mph winds. We have winds in Texas, but usually not that bad. The only places I got high winds was on a few Colorado 14'ers .
thanks,
