You dont want to go up there mid-winter...thats just asking for something bad to happen. I would wait till a little later in the year.

Go in april I have picks of me hucking the waterfall but I can't import them. Make sure to go before the ski route to the bottom melts. You can ski all the way down to the bottom

i did it was way fun, hike to the bottom of the hill was so gay, it was like mountain hiking and you get hungry and thirsty and tired and i was gunna cry, the scariest park is hiking up the mountain if your boot slips your gunna fall the whole entire way down, deffently worth doign though

kylekyle said that it took him 2.5 hours to get to the bottom. It takes a lot longer to hike, but it only took me 45 minutes to get to the bottom.

definitely worth the trip, i highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't done it... just a few suggestions: be prepared for a lot of hiking, don't go if there's a threat of bad weather, and know what you're doing... as long as you're prepared, it will be one of the best trips of your life

In the winter dont even try to go up there with a group of your freinds and hike. You Will Get Lost And You Will Most Likly Die. People dont realize how large of a mountain Mt Washington is. It is ginourmous if you ever decide to go up in the winter spend a few extra bucks and hire a guide. Mark Chovan i think thats how you spell his name lead us up there a few winters back and that shit its super scary cause there is so much snow and when skiing down there are tiny markers he uses to see where to go. If you try to drop in a few hundred feet to early you will end up in tuckermans revine which is a no matter what you will most likly die hill. Only 2 people have done it in history and suvived. ANYWAY the hike only takes about an hour to an hour and a half to get to HOJO's and from there is is a half hour to get to the base of tucks.
