Enjoying a small break in the weather, Redline Guide Ryan Mcguire led a Rhode Island couple up to the 6288′ (1917m) summit of Mt Washington. It was bucket list item for the missus, something she always wanted to do. Once Ryan got them up there, he simply left them there! Of course, when he did so they were safely aboard the Cog. This was their plan all along — two experiences in the same day. It’s one reason why he led them up via the west side of the mountain. After seeing them off, Ryan simply backtracked on his own back to the Ammosoosuc Ravine Trailhead. He supplied these photos:

It’s a beautiful forest.

The final push.
A well earned summit! Congratulations!
Good job everyone, glad the weather cooperated. Thanks for choosing Redline Guiding.
