From Purity Spring Resort, head North on Route 153 to Route 16. Stay on Route 16 North all the way to Mount Washington Auto Road, where you’ll turn left, head West, and begin your climb to the top of the mountain. Your final summit stop will have you gazing at 360 degrees of breath-taking beauty at the Sherman Adams Visitors’ Center.
