Jeff DeMeglio spent 3 days on and around Mount Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Reaching the summit of the highest peak in the Northeast was the proudest moment of my life and also the most humbling moment, but definitely the most fulfilling. I will never forget the amazing views and the amazing people I met along the trail.

Mount Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern U.S., attains an elevation of 6,288 feet above mean sea level, and is located at latitude 44° 16′ N, longitude 71° 18′ W. It is in Sargents Purchase in Coös County, New Hampshire, at the heart of the White Mountain National Forest. Originally called Agiocochook by native Americans, the mountain boasts some of the planet’s most severe weather, and retains the world record for wind speed, 231 MPH. The 52-acre Mount Washington State Park surrounds the summit, where visitors will find a multitude of old and modern buildings, once known as the ‘City Among the Clouds’.
