We really enjoyed the Washington State Park and the Cog railway. The train ride is beautiful and once you get to the summit the weather is crazy but a lot of fun. We were surprised by the quality of the park up top with some really good displays and good food.

We had a great time. I highly recommend the journey MN Make sure you take a coat or layers. It was 20° cooler at the top 47° an the wind Chill was 31°. It was also very gusty. Hold on to your hat!

This had been in my bucket list since I moved to New England. The auto road was well worth the money! I would plan to spend about 4 hours if you drive up, mainly because you’ll want to stop the whole way up/down! It is covered in clouds 60% of the year so be open minded when you go up!

Questions & Answers

Can we bring a dog in a hiking trail?

Samuel Hebert | Jan 27, 2019
Don Goldammer | Jan 28, 2019

Yes you can. There are a lot of rocks. And he has been hiking with you before. Not a good idea for a dog that never has hiked before.

The mountain is rated difficult and it's too strenuous. We are avid hikers and this is most difficult thing we did. I personally would not recommend hiking this mountain while being pregnant.

J Yang | Jan 27, 2020
Constante Gonzalez | Jan 28, 2020

We drove to the top and hiked down to the "lakes of the clouds", a couple thousand feet down the rocks, and back. Not an easy hike but a lot less than the whole mountain.

Is camping available on the mountain?

SHOESHINES | Jan 27, 2019
Don Goldammer | Jan 28, 2019

With a permit you can. And you can either drive or hike up. If you hike follow the mounds of rocks that hikers have adding to each time the go or down. That way you can follow the trail up and back in bad weather or snow. Make sure you add you rock to the pile.
