History
Established in 1861.
Established as a private toll road during the days of horse drawn wagons, this famous man-made attraction provides access to the summit of the highest peak in the Northeast. A single lane road in the early years, the route has been widened and mostly paved with plenty of pull offs to enjoy the weather and views along the way. Horse drawn stages have evolved into modern vans for guided tours and private vehicles now make the trip during season from May to October.
Meet the Manager
Howie W.
Manager
I started as a «stage driver» giving guided tours in the mid 1970s. I was hooked and stuck around long enough to be offered the job of General Manager in 1987 — the position I still hold and love. I’m an avid trail runner, cross country skier, birder and sometime photographer.
