Alpine Garden Trail - Mount Washington, NH

I wasn't up to hiking all of Mt. Washington this trip, and the weather wasn't being cooperative, so we decided to drive up to the top and hike around a little bit from there.

The summit was in the clouds when we got there, so we drove back down the auto road a few minutes to get out from under the clouds. There's a small parking area next to the trail head to access the Alpine Garden.

You have to climb down (and eventually back up) a very steep staircase of boulders to get to the relatively flat Alpine Garden Trail. The trail continues across to a viewpoint overlooking Tuckerman Ravine.
