I love how authentic they tell the history of the mountain at 3:50. Never would have thought about people doing that lol
Mt. Washington is awesome. I did a solo climb in my 20s and it was phenomenal. Of course, even a solo climber is surrounded by a dozen others, so there's hardly any danger. The last third of the ascent is the best, scampering up the ravine with three-point climbing. And as you said and showed, the views are phenomenal.
When I reached the road near the top, not far from the parking lot, I saw a wealthy-looking British woman who asked "You didn't just climb up when there's a perfectly good road?" I laughed and laughed.
The wealthy looking British woman should say that in the Snowdon region of North Wales. :)
My wife and I are from Illinois, and we took the Cog to the summit a few years ago, loved it!!!
Wow, this video brings me back. I remember going there when I was a little kid with my mum and dad.
I hiked up to the summit on Labor Day with two friends, up the Tuckerman Ravine trail and back down the Lion's Head trail -- 3:40 going up, and 2:30 doing down - but weather was perfect, no wind, no clouds, 62 deg F -- even then it is a long steep uphill trail, gnarly with rocks and easy enough to misstep on and get hurt -- with snow, in a stiff icy wind, in thick mist, one could get into serious trouble, obviously
I drove up this mountain in 1973 in my Datsun 240 Z. One time was enough!
Thanks for watching :-)
+Jon Kudos to Marty Engstrom Television Engineer/Weatherman extraordinaire. Provided many years of letting us all know how things were going on the Mtn. WMTW Channel 8 Poland Springs Maine was the channel he was on, Believe it or not the anchor team was Elise Wolfman and Kerry Killbride, no wonder Stephen King hails from Maine with names like that. I watched the nightly news from them when I worked for the Town of Kittery in the early 80's and when Marty was working the Mountain that was the high point(literally) of the newscast. Sometimes his cat would walk in front of the camera for a bonus.
Jon great video! best pine I've seen covering Mt. Washington! would happen to know of any rv parks nearby to the mountain that you could recommend??
I have to go there one day , I love mountains. It's a beautiful place.
I visited the top today and drove my 2017 forester up it. Today is the last day the road is open for 2020. It was thankfully super clear and no cloud cover. The roads are dodgy, and the gravel area is the worst overall, I don’t think 2 smart cars can pass in most places in that stretch. If anyone ever does this just remember to use the pull overs on the way up and down so your engine/brakes stay cool
My favorite place on earth.
My Dad & Stepmother live about a half hours drive from there. ❤🗻
Been up there many times with the truck and car also took the cog railway this place is awsome if I ever get back to the great white north Ill definitely be on MT Washington.
And that rock pile with the summit sign was covered in ice too..I still climbed up there though, very carefully. 🤣
I went to the Mount Washington Mountain and it was awesome especially the view
Looks great :D Will definitely check it out when I eventually go to New England
This is the perfect time to come!
When I was last on the cog railway they were still using steam locos back in the early 90s.
Charles S they still do
This video is awesome; perhaps the best one i've seen. I'm a brakeman at the Cog and i've never heard that Middle Earth connection before!!! Mind if I steal that and use it as a comment for future trips?! :D
ItsSoRealFilms - Appreciate the praise, thanks! And yes, feel free to borrow that observation :)
It's just a mountain, I mean.
The whole time I grew up in Claremont I never ended up making it to the mountain. If I go home at all this summer I'll have to finally check it out.
ive been here it was a great trip.
Very cool. Would love to get there sometime.
Did it last Monday, June 4. 27 degrees Fahrenheit on the summit and everything covered in ice. Visibility was poor but I’m still glad I did it. We did have some nice views on the way up..I would gladly do this again.
I was up there on June 1 - and it was beautiful at the summit, haha.
I was there in june this year . 61 in Exeter and 36 at the summit .
Rim ice is the ice that forms on the edge of your favorite fermented (or otherwise) beverage glass. Rime (pronounced rhyme) ice is supercooled water droplets that immediately freeze upon contact with a surface to form the frost feathers you see.
The best thing is to stand up and lean forward while ascending.
Great vlog, ***** really, enjoyed it
Please add captions for your deaf and hard of hearing viewers. Thank you! Looking forward to learning more about your subject in this beautiful video!
I want to go. There its on my bucket list
I rode this in 1977.
Love it❤️❤️
Taking this up in about a month!
How'd you like it?
This video is exactly what I expected it to be.
... is that a good thing?
+Jon good
j360/6x7 Cool, thanks for watching :)
Awesome video
This video is good yay 😀
Thanks for sharing this excursion. I would have liked if in the dropdown you had added the link for buying tickets...
I can do that.
@@Jon - much obliged, thank you! 😊👍
@@peterlarsen7779 thecog.showare.com/
wow amazing view
definitely somewhere to go sometime
hey, are you an eagle scout?
Pablo Zamora Yes.
1:13 I thought you were Ryan Gosling haha! What are all those antennae for?
Watching this in 2020. Awesome video. Appalled by how much people complained about hearing a SINGLE curse word. Jeez give the guy a break, it’s not like he committed a crime
...there’s at least two curse words...
and a video like this people would reasonably be watching with their kids, grandparents, etc. They don’t expect someone to randomly drop a fully audible F bomb, especially when it was unnecessary and obviously edited INTO the video, instead of just leaving it out.
It’s just bad manners, and that is why people are commenting.
Rudeness isn’t a crime...but it’s still rudeness. And it will totally bring down an otherwise lovely little video.
i rode all the way up to the summit it was the middle of summer and it was 30 degrees up there
We were there just a few years ago when they still had the coal burners. The diesels are probably faster and safer but I miss seeing the steam going over the top of the mountain.
They still do coal rides first thing in the morning.
Only steam has the whistle.
Reminds me of the Snowdon railway
We watched this in school until it said "look at those f***** clouds
God forbid, someone hear a four letter word with magical evil powers!
Are you in middle school or something?
I don't know why people think they have to use that word! Nice video just ruins it!!! :(
Marion Gonzales lol
Wanted to share this with my 3rd graders who are studying New Hampshire...Wish there wasn't "inappropriate" language :( Other than that, it's a super film
Never intended this to be an educational resource, and had I known I certainly would have removed the bad language. Heck, if I could edit this post without re-uploading, I'd do that in a heartbeat.
@@Jon Thanks for replying! It really is a great video. If you can figure out a way to "bleep" out that word and are willing to give your permission, I guarantee teachers would love it! :)
@@lauraross4970 Maybe I'll re-upload it and link to it here...
@@Jon That would be amazing!
@@lauraross4970 I was able to edit in some music without re-uploading. It is a very clunky fix, but it works. No more swears in the video now :)
Can you ride the train up than hike down? Thank you
I believe so, yes.
I went there like I week ago and I lost my phone from the wind I have a new phone now
They need to bring back the steam power. It’s like stepping back it time.
I did this today
When is the best time to visit there?
Definitely July or August
Did your boy scout comrades survive the hike down ?
This is a larger version of the Snowdon Mountain Railway in Wales. :)
I'm on Way there we just are stoped at friendlys
eso ayudaría a limpiar la atmósfera
Thankfully you posted this, as I will never make it up there. Heights :(
It's Not scary if is your issue
+Redsoxking if the train isn't that high off the ground at all points, I'll be ok.
Good narration voice. I've been up there many times, never on the railway though. Each time I look at the price and choke on the cost and the time, then drive up. Good video too. The price has gone up since you did it. The development is actually less than it was, there's no hotel any more. Just parking and the observatory and radio stations. The public part is a small part of the observatory really. You can volunteer there for a week of cooking for the staff. Once you have volunteered in the summer you can volunteer in the winter.
Is there commentary for the entire 45 min cog ride to the summit?
IIRC, yes.
Jon Thankyou
it's a comical moment at 2:44 for a narrative, informative program!
Dave Bates This is definitely not intended to be an "informative program", haha.
But it starts off so professional, almost like a commercial or official promo!
All of my videos are professionally made, but really only Movie Night retains a professional 'tone' :-)
Thanks for sharing the video! I just climbed it last Sunday for the 28th time!
54$ a person though?! Is that all-inclusive?
6,288 ft.
Yikes ..not for me but great footage ..ty for posting
Now Kevin gets a train
Thanks for this video! I watched it with my kids for studying the history if New Hampshire. I was a bit surprised that you used profanity. Just wanted to mention that to please consider younger viewers. Thank you!
If I could edit the upload after the fact, I would. My apologies - don't usually have many kids watching
JM Bennett same here. So glad I previewed it first. Sad not to share it with my students.
Shame they don't run steam anymore.
+Josh Kaivo They have a steam train that's ten dollars more that runs first thing in the morning.
$54!? It's $99 now!!
Woah 😲
"Oh my he used a cuss word" Grow up people
This looks a ton like Pikes Peak. Damn cookie cutter mountaintops. :p
Dexi Except the Pikes Peak cog railway is about 6 miles longer and the summit is nearly 8,000 feet higher. :P
This is very true. If you'd like there are two videos of my motorcycle travels up and down it on my channel.
Complaining that it’s commercialized on top of a mountain. You took a train to the top! What did you expect?!
Fair point 🤷♂️
Rime ice is pronounced “Ryme” not “rim”.
This was great, thank you... Maybe watch your language though? The f-bomb for no reason in the middle was a little shocking to my 8 year old and I as we researched this for a school project.
My apologies - I didn't expect the 228th episode of my casual travel vlog from to randomly become an educational resource seven years after recording it :-)
HIke up Mt. Washington takes a lot more than 45 minutes ....
Huh?
I said the Cog Railway ride takes 45 minutes...
enjoyed your review ..going this Friday 8/25/17
Thanks - hope you have fun!
It just hit me it was you Jon at 1:14 lol. watching videos on new hampshire cool that I ran into your videos again. funny enough I think I've been watching your videos longer than almost anyone else. You're a UA-cam vet for sure.
Thanks!
So, people back east actually pay money to go up a little 6,000 hill? Out west we have these 6000 little foothills around the city and we drive over them 65 mph on the way to the 10,000 ft mountains that we hike for free . Gigantic mountain? lol, you guys need to travel outside of New England sometime.
> _"you guys need to travel outside of New England sometime."_
I've been to 43 states, 9 Caribbean islands, and 14 European countries -- how about you?
AlarmingRob Ive hiked the Appalachian mountains as well as the Rockies and you cannot come close to comparing these two vastly different ranges. In fact, I climbed mt. Washington yesterday on the hardest trail in the northeast (Huntington ravine) and can say it was the toughest climbing I've ever done. It started out at 87 degrees bright and sunny. When I was coming down tuckerman's ravjne, it was 55 and hailing. It's not the height, but the shift in weather that's most dangerous. Over 150 people have died on Washington, not counting the numerous others throughout the white mountains. Don't be too quick to assume about a place you've never been to
I grew up in Maine. I hiked Mt Washington in 88 and 92. I hiked most of the presidentials, spent half my youth in the White Mountains.
Don't know what you climbed out west but it obviously wasn't Mt Rainier or the like. In fact the mountain I was on last week just barely had the snow melted enough to be able to summit. Over 400 people have died on Mt Rainer alone and there are no "tourist" roads going up.
AlarmingRob - it took you two months to reply, and you still ignored my question. Hahaha
I recently took two years a rode a Suzuki DRZ 400 From Oregon to Brazil. Five years ago I spent a year in SE Asia. And I'm not talking about living in hotels, either. Filtered my own water, slept whever I could jam down a tent or net. Next adventure is riding to Alaska from Idaho via the Dalton highway. Oh yeah, Australia and NZ in 96. Throw in Japan, South Korea, Myanmar and Vietnam too.
Ummmm, I guess being from Colorado that is like a Mole Hill lol But hey it's really beautiful nonetheless! lol
Compared to the surrounding areas though - it's about 5,000' above, so that's something.
Great video...Wanted to share it on my FB until I heard the F word..
Sorry about that :-)
Get over it. We’re all adults for fucks sake
me gustaría que pudieran hacer las vías de los trenes con la ayuda de la energía solar
At nearly 70 dollars round trip the price of the cog is highway robbery. You are far better off WALKING to the top.
David Mills It's $54 a person, like I said - and taking the cog is part of the experience / history of the mountain. If you don't agree, then don't take it.
David Mills Yes I wanted to go to Snowdon Mountain Railway the other day but they charge £30 a person.
You can go to London Eye or The Shard for that price. In fact these are cheaper.
and I don't take it. Never have never will. way to costly and I can hike up the mtn almost as fast/slow as this put put goes!
Dude i have climbed up Mt Washington it takes at least a 8 hours to climb at a moderate pace. You can also drive up the mountain.
Thanks for shooting this informative video for people not familiar with this attraction. Could have done without the foul language, though.
Sorry bout that :)
what a pity ! no more smoke as with the old steam engine !!! and the noise tchouch tchouch !!! modernity is not good !!!
beautiful scenery ..........watching with my children.......then some fool drops the "F" bomb ...... so sad what this world has come to...
Sorry buddy, but I've never suggested my content was free of swears. That assumption was on you.
And really? This is "so sad" to you? Hahah... lighten up.
Lmao. America needs to innovate some more.. this train is like from the 1960sss?!?
... I don't think you understand what "innovate" means - or how that would even apply here.
I really hate to be negative here but I grew up in Maine and my whole life I heard people hyping up the altitude of Mt. Washington. You even hear it in the video.
Listen, Mt. Washington is 6,200 feet and some change above Sea Level. Pretty measly in terms of mountains (even in the US). Most of the mountains in Nevada and California that size are not even named because they’re so irrelevant.
Mr. Washington is beautiful and is a record holder for weather (mostly due to its location), but for the love of god, can we stop pretending it’s second to Mt. Everest…….
Did anyone even suggest it's "second to Mt. Everest?"
Was using this video to show my 10 year old what a cog railway was all about. Could have done without the profanity. Shame.
Sorry dude. My videos don't usually attract an outside / younger audience. I've been editing the swearing in newer videos since.
I don't mind it for myself but we drove up Mt. Washington the other day and I would have shown my kids this video..
@@Jon - It's a character issue, or lack thereof.
@@HiTechOilCo No, it truly isn't. I wasn't swearing up a storm or going on some unhinged tired. I peppered in a *single* curse word throughout 20 minutes of vlogging. Don't be so judgmental -- because THAT is a character issue.
I thought this was Family friendly....
Sorry, but I never suggested it was. Didn't realize this particular episode would be so popular, otherwise I'd have edited that out.
Family friendly, with cursing, vulgar language? Not hardly.
Are these cursing comments jokes? I’ve never seen anything like it in a UA-cam comment section lol.
Hahah... tell me about it.
(They are serious)
rime ice not rim dude. and no f bombs please.
In 1 hour it went from 80 degrees to 40??! What in the Fuck
Classy language. Not.
Jon, are you a soy boy?
You swore. You said the F word.
I'm an adult, I'm allowed to.
@@Jon - That's not the language of an adult. That's the language of a child with no class.
@@HiTechOilCo LOL, sure buddy. Hahah.
Cursing? Using vulgar language? Really? I stopped watching and will not return.
HiTechOilCo lol
No one's perfect, asshole.
Please clean up your language.
It was one swear in a 7 year old video.
for an adventure guy a mic sock would be inorder
Bro. It's literally the windiest place on Earth, 😆
