Resort Experience:
We were very impressed when we walked into our studio unit at Attitash mountain village. We were expecting a small unit with few amenities, but we were pleased to have a large bathroom with whirlpool tub, a fireplace, a patio, air-conditioning, a fold-out couch and a Murphy bed, and a washer and dryer. The kitchen had a two-burner hot plate, a microwave, and a small dishwasher, and a refrigerator with freezer. We also had small appliances such as a coffee maker and toaster. The White Mountains of NH are a beautiful area. We would enjoy going back.

We took the auto road up to a parking area near the Alpine Garden trail. My husband, son, and I walked through the Alpine Garden and decided to climb up to the summit along the Lion Head Trail. After going through some brush, we reached a point where the trail was marked by cairns of stones on a steep slope of boulders. It wasn't easy but we all made it to the summit. The next day my husband and son decided to return for the 9-mile round-trip on Lion Head from the Visitor Center at the Notch. The weather was clear, and there was little wind; it was an ideal day for the hike. Since this type of weather is rare for Mt. Washington, we considered it a real blessing.

My husband slipped and bruised his forearm while descending, but other than that, it was a great day for them.

This is a great hike if the weather is good, you are in very good shape, and you have the right gear and footwear.
