Nope, this Mt Washington is the I-90 version. I wonder how many Mt. Washingtons there are in the U.S.?

Thanks WB. Does the new trail keep one off the steepest, brushiest parts of the north ridge?

The new trail is of a very high standard, wide and well-built. No brush at all. My map roughly shows the route of the trail.

Ok, so the white dog drops you off at the trailhead, and the black dog is photogenic and jumps into water. What do you do? 
(Cool pics! I did not even know there was something called "Mt. Washington" along I-90.)

Thanks a million. I will try this next year...maybe sooner. Am all booked for the weekend and next, gone to Mom's funeral in Ohio. I guess it is then November weather for sure. I love exploring...and Mt. WA has been on my mind for years. Went up routes for a mile or two some years ago.
Love the pooch! He loves the wild walking, I see! My pups will enjoy this hike.

I am ignorant of this area as well. Where exactly is it? What is the RT distance and elevation gain? Thanks.

Wopper: Drive I-90, take exit 38, turn right, drive a few seconds and turn right into the parking lot. Up the trail, west on Iron Horse, and look for the path on your left, going down, then up. You can see the start on WB's map. It's probably 8-9 miles for the North Ridge, and 12 miles for the Great Wall variation. Either way you gain about 3120'.
One of the best trip reports ever!!
