Mount Washington is New Hampshire’s highest point at 6,288 feet above sea level, ranking #18 among U.S. state high points and marking my 11th summit on this journey. It’s also one of those places where the mountain itself is only part of the story.
Before getting into Mount Washington, I should acknowledge the long pause in writing. There’s been a lot to catch up on—and if I’m being honest, I think I was procrastinating a bit. I knew this post carried more weight than most, both personally and historically, and I wanted to take the time to get it right.
